Zoo Lights & Santa

A cold night at Zoo Lights 

Corben did so good with Santa, he had practiced what he wanted to ask for.  He went right on his lap and started talking to him.  We eventually had to keep asking Corben to get off his lap because he was comfortable and just wanted to stay with Santa. 

Mason on the other hand wasn't too happy and of course we have a crying picture.

Corben stayed on after sister got off to keep talking.
