First time meeting Santa

Johnna, Jake, my mom and I attended a Christmas party at our friend's house on December 23, 2007. While we were there Santa arrived in his trusty golf cart to deliver early presents to all of the kids. This was the first time in Jake's young life he was going to meet Santa and we were all excited, yet very nervous about it. Things didn't start out so well and Jake started crying immediately upon seeing Santa pull up in the golf cart. As Santa read the names on each present he handed out, Jake seemed to become more and more uneasy about the big jolly man in the red suit and funny hat. Close to the end a small gift was removed from from Santa's gift bag and he read Jake's name aloud. As Johnna walked him up to Santa's lap Jake began to scream. However, the funniest part came after Johnna had set Jake in Santa's lap and he turned to look up at the person whose lap he'd been set on. When Jake realized he was sitting in the arms of the round man with the big beard he lost it. We were so happy to have the camera on hand to catch the special moment.
