Jacob Meets Santa

...continued...

A few days ago there was some discussion about heading to Frankenmuth for a few items and more specifically, Bronners. We decided that we didn't have time this past weekend and weren't sure if we would be able to get there, so the thought was set aside

After backing out of my brothers' driveway and starting to head home, the topic of Frankenmuth came up again. There wasn't much time because they close at 5:30, but we knew what we wanted to get so it shouldn't take long. This definitely wasn't something planned as we just wanted to be home, but we were closer to Bronner's than we were home, so we bit the bullet and went. Once we got there, we found out that they were actually open until 7:00, so we had much more time to check things out...

We did most, if not all of our shopping, but needed to wait for a few things to be completed and Jacob decided it was time for him to eat. So, of course there was no delay in getting him fed so that he could be happy again. While we were feeding Jacob, I noticed through a window that Santa was there seeing little boys and girls. I strolled over to see what was up with Santa and found that they didn't have any picture packages, etc. You just needed to have your own camera. So, Amy signed him up after he was done feeding. Fortunately, I had brought the camera for Thanksgiving II. Unfortunately, I didn't bring some stuff I would have liked to have had, but oh well... I can't take everyting all of the time, but maybe I should... ;)!

Jacob was a little fussy waiting, but not too bad. He was able to be consoled. Jacob was a real trooper with the man dressed in red. I'm not sure he knew what to make of the bearded man, but he sat there like a pro with a look of concern. Jacob was the last to see Santa for the day, so an elf offered to take a family picture with Santa. Of course, we said yes!!!

In hind sight, Amy wishes Jacob would have had a different outfit on, but we weren't planning on going to Frankenmuth or seeing Santa. We might need to go see Santa again, but I don't think Jacob will mind if we just stick with what we have already...
