Santa

When I was growing up, we always had a tradition of seeing Santa and ridding the carousel with my grandparents. So we decided to continue this tradition with Cael and my parents. On Saturday we went to this huge mall in West Hills. One of the hugest, biggest malls I know of. Cael rode on the carousel and had a visit with Santa.

It was so hard to get good pictures of Cael at the mall. Perhaps it was the stimulation of lights, noise, people, and snow on the ground which quite distracted him...

We took soo many pictures, trying to get him to look at the camera and smile. But to no avail...

His mouth was open because he kept trying to put his mouth on the shiny pole in front of him. 

Cael and Santa. Cael was actually quite friendly and smiley to this Santa. Surprising, since a lot of mine and my brother's pictures are of us on Santa's lap, screaming, bright red, with an arched back. Cael is apparently more socially advanced and took to Santa.
