Santa - third times the charm

Our first Santa attempt was just by chance. We went to see the lights at the Riverwoods mall Friday. We were delighted to find they also had free carriage rides and a Santa. Trey wouldn't go near him, Smith gave him a high-five. They were both happy to pick out a treat from his bag though.

Second attempt was a little better, this time at the Expo Center. Smith sat on his lap, but was very nervous.
Trey only wanted to look, and hide behind Nate when he got close to Santa.

Third time was at the fire station. The department had a little party for the firefighters families and Santa showed up. We waited in line for 20 minutes. The whole time Smith was squatting at the front of the line watching all the other kids have their turn saying "It's Santa, It's Santa". He was so excited!
Trey was actually excited this time. He ran right up and jumped on his lap and giggled and talked to him. I asked him later what he told Santa. "I'm was good and Mario Cart"
And the reward for being good and sitting on Santa's lap:
A huge stocking FULL of candy. We are spoiled at Provo Fire. When we got in the car to go Trey asked if Mario Cart was at home now. I told him not yet and he said "Oh, Santa's at another kids house now?" Something like that.
