"Santa Claus is coming to town"

Yesterday was our ward Christmas party. We had breakfast and then worked on a service project, making dolls to go to Africa (or something like that...we missed the presentation). Savannah loved working alongside Dallin cutting out material from a little pattern. Connor helped too, cutting the large scrap pieces into millions of little scraps.
Jacob helped inside-out the pieces after they were sewn.
Then it was time for Santa! This face says it all...
Connor is terrified of mascots and people dressed up, but for some reason Santa doesn't phase him. He climbed right up and gave Santa a big hug. He told Santa he wants a baby chick for Christmas. In the car on the way there he told us he was going to ask for a diamondback rattlesnake. I was kind of looking forward to seeing the look on Santa's face when he asked for that one...oh well.
Zach asked for a reindeer Webkinz. He also asked me why Santa was wearing tennis shoes. I told him it was because we don't have snow here, so he doesn't need boots.
Jacob asked for books.
Landon stared at all the people smiling at him.
Savannah was TERRIFIED of getting anywhere near Santa this year. I finally coaxed her to take this picture, with me between her and the scary man. She was gone the second it was taken.

So interesting that Savannah was terrified but Connor was not?! Did Landon ever even look at Santa's face?
