My Christmas Photo Shoot Attempt

I took Ethan and Matthew to Bass Pro Shop for a visit with Santa.  Ethan was very curious about how Santa would actually be arriving at Bass Pro Shop.  When we pulled up he asked, "Where is his sleigh?"  He also noted that Santa's sleigh is for pulling presents on Christmas, so he was a bit confused as to why he would be driving it around before Christmas!
While we were there and dressed up so cute, I decided to try to snap a few pictures for a Christmas card.  It couldn't be that hard right?!?
Ethan had ideas of his own, and wasn't into providing me with that perfect little smile.  He would rather watch to the people enter the store then participate in my impromptu photo shoot.  Matthew smiled when a nice woman came up behind me and tried to help get them to smile.

Then I somehow got this shot...I can't get enough of his sweet little hand propped up on the bench, and that thoughtful little gaze...don't get me started about those blue eyes.

 Ethan finally gave it his best shot (maybe he thought I wouldn't notice if he smiled while causally tending to his people watching!).
