Jolly Old St. Nicholas

For those on fb, this post is nothing new.
 This past weekend we decided to take the boys up to Williamsburg to see Santa at the Yankee Candle Store.  It is an awesome store.  More pics on that once I pull them off my camera.  We waited in line for about 30 mins but the boys were distracted by the fountain, popcorn and fudge store in close proximity to us.  

 Fisher acted like an old pro with Santa. 

 Cooper was so excited but a little nervous, hence his hands.  He was doing this nervous claw thing.

Tucker screamed from the second he started being handed off to Santa and continued for the five minutes they took pictures.

 Every now and then Tucker would take a breath and look up at Santa as if to make sure this wasn't really happening...

 Only to realize that, yes, this was indeed happening.

 Santa was a good sport.

 This was the best Santa set-up I have ever seen.  He took time with each of the kids and there wasn't a rushed feeling.  Santa looked awesome, too.


 Fisher was so excited about the secret Santa told him.  

 He was ready to attack Cooper when he spilled the beans on what Santa told them.

 The secret was that Santa likes chocolate chip cookies.

 Later they tried having Santa pose behind Tucker which turned out kind of creepy but funny.

 There was a short moment where Tucker calmed down for a second.

 Until he felt Santa lurking behind him.

 By this time, everyone in line was laughing.


And that was that.  I highly recommend this store if you are in the Williamsburg area, especially at Christmas.

Those are hilarious. I love how the older boys are just totally happy and smiling amidst Tucker's wails. so funny!

You're right, he is a GREAT looking Santa. Maybe he's the real thing ... ;) We just watched Miracle on 34th Street last night, has me thinking about department store Satnas.
