This weekend, we made our annual trip to the mall to see Santa. And as with tradition, Dan-El sat on Santa's lap, while Jak-El wanted absolutely no part of it.

He was however, happy to pose near Santa's village.



He also insisted on having his photo taken with the Ronald McDonald statue.



(the next morning, as we walked to school)

Lois: So what was your favorite part of the weekend?

Dan-El: Going to see Santa and getting a milk shake.

Lois: That's nice.

Dan-El: Someday, I want to go see Barack Obama.

Lois: Um, you know that he doesn't go to the mall and pose for photos like Santa, right?

Dan-El: Oh.....I want to go see an anteater.
