Santa Claus


Last night we took Gavin to see Santa. Apparently Santa Claus was hanging out in a festive little hut in Sugarhouse so we didn't have to deal with trying see him at a crowded mall. This was Gavin's first time sitting on Santa's lap and he did great. We prepared him by explaining that he would go visit Santa, sit on his lap, and tell him what he wanted for Christmas. So Gavin did exactly that. Gavin climbed right up and preceded to tell Santa the only thing that he wanted this Christmas... Thomas trains (particularly Henry or Edward). The only problem came when it was time to say goodbye to Santa and Gavin looked confused. He didn't want to get off of Santa's lap. He was waiting to get the trains he had just told Santa that he wanted. We realized that Gavin thought he was going to actually get the toys during his visit with Santa. It's pretty hard to explain to a 2 year old the concept of waiting till Christmas.
