A Tisket, a Tasket...He Ain't Gettin' in the Damn Basket.

We got to the mall and he was in a GREAT MOOD.
He looked so handsome in his plaid shortalls that his Gigi bought for him.

We get in line and their eyes meet.....

Big smiles all AROUND!

We are so gonna OWN this picture.
 When it's our turn, he walks right up!
Even waving hello!
YESSSSS!


But then it's time for him to sit in his lap and smile for the camera....


NOT.SO.MUCH.

They're friends and all, but they're not THAT close.

There were no screams or tears, but it was clear that there weren't going to be any snuggles or smiles either.


Sigh.

At least it's a step up from our run-in with Santa....

I think.


Guys! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Look at how little he was last year!!!!!!

I may cry.

....excuse me. 
SOB.
