This morning we headed to the mall to visit Santa. Ajax was so excited to see Santa this year. In line we discussed Santa’s job, what he would say to Santa, and that he would get his picture taken. Ajax was all over this and could hardly wait for his turn. As soon as it was his turn, however, all bets were off and he dropped his chin to his chest and stared at the ground, lol. We herded him toward Santa and he shuffled his feet. He sat on Santa’s lap but refused to talk. Santa was really cheerful and Ajax finally opened up (once the topic of tractors came up) and even said, thank you, when we left.
Before seeing Santa we went on a train ride around the mall. The box cars this year were bigger, which was nice for the adults and Ajax got a kick out of it. At one point the train slowed down and someone passed out smoothie samples. I’m not sure who thought this was a great idea but within a matter of seconds Ajax had spilled it on my pants and gotten it all over his hands, lol.
He actually bit his shirt for most of the meeting with Santa. We also had the place take photos and those turned out nice, but I don’t have them on the computer, these are the ones Dave took.
We also put up our christmas tree today and it looks quite nice. Ajax helped put on the ornaments and they are all clustered on about five branches, lol.
