The List

For our trip this year to see Santa, we wanted to naturally avoid the meltdown that we had last year. To help us do this, we decided that Ethan should have a list of what he wants for Christmas so he could show Santa.

So what does Ethan want from the Big Guy? If you ask him, he'll say: "a big football and a big football tee." He also said that he wants drums, tools, and some cars. I opted for a pictoral list since, you know, Ethan can't actually read yet.

Waiting in line, Ethan held on to his list and actually sounded excited to tell Santa about it.

Success! Ethan was really good, but he got a little uneasy after a few moments - but we got some good pictures! It wasn't a total cry-fest, so we'll count that as a win.
