Raindeer and Santa

Our friends Grady, JK, and Saunder told us about this opportunity to go see a couple of raindeer and Santa and we were there! The raindeer were really cute and the people were so nice.This was Mr B's second time seeing a Santa this year. Last year he was perfectly fine, not bothered at all. We went to my work appreciation night and saw Santa there and Bradley was very weary of him. He did not want to get close to him, especially not sit on his lap! We finally ended up getting a photo of him standing next to him - with Kevin in the picture, very close behind.
This Santa was no different - he was NOT happy. He did not understand why we would just go up to a stranger and hand him off :) We figured we'd let him see Saunder sit with Santa first so that maybe he would see that Santa was a good guy - but that did not work. Santa and Mrs Claus were very patient with us, we gave up pretty quickly but they kept trying to figure out ways to get a picture, we tried lots of high fives to warm Bradley up to him - didn't work. So finally we ended up just taking a picture with him in my arms and Santa just popped up behind us and Bradley never knew he was so close :)
