It's Beginning to Look a Little Like Christmas

Ho Ho Ho!!!
It's that time of year again, for Oliver to make his annual trip to see Santa.  If you are wondering why we were at Santa for opening weekend of his arrival you have never seen the lines that form the closer we get to Christmas.  Last year the lines were 3+ hours long.  NO WAY!
Oliver was great with Santa, but he wouldn't sit on his lap.  Sitting on Mom's lap right next to Santa was plenty close.  He talked to Santa and then finished it off by handing out a hug and kiss to the jolly 'ol fellow.  Funny how he can give Santa a hug and kiss, but not sit on his lap.  Funny kid!  I wished the photographer would have taken a picture of the hug, but she was busy chatting with another elf.  Maybe next time.

Don't think that we jumped right into a trip to see Santa.  This was a full morning process.  First stop was to get Keith's hair cut.  The second stop was for coffee at Starbucks while we waiting for Oliver's hair salon to open.  Ahhhh... Fireside snack at Starbucks!

Finally, the drinks have arrived.  Something warm and toasty for Mom and Dad.  Something smooth and fruity for Oliver.

The next stop was to get Oliver's hair cut.  Here he is checking the workings of the Taxi before taking off on his hair cutting adventure.

Check out all of that long hair on top.

Meanwhile, in the back of the salon, I found Keith playing video games.
Boys will be Boys!

It was a great day to kick off Christmas, even if we haven't had Thanksgiving yet.  I am also noting that I really shouldn't forget my camera because phone cameras aren't nearly as clear.  Bummer!
Flash Back.  Oliver may not want to sit on Santa's lap, but we've come a long way since 2008. Also notice that it is the same Santa!
