The Craziness of the Holiday Season

Yesterday I took Jakob to the mall to see Santa.  He was so nervous to see the Big Man that one would have thought he was atop the naughty list, which he is not by any means, but once he saw St. Nick all his fears were gone. 

It wasn't until we left the mall and had to make a pit-stop at Starbucks, because I NEEDED a Peppermint Mocha Jakob had to pee, did all that nervous energy come seeping out of his pores.  He couldn't even help himself.  It was like watching someone shake a bottle of Pepsi and popping the lid. 

As for me, I had a jolly good time watching him be so goofy and at times forgetting to use his inside voice.  And we laughed and laughed until tears ran down our faces.
