In years past, Nathan has been very afraid of Santa. For instance, at last year's ward Christmas party, Nathan saw Santa walk in the door, and with the speed of lightning was on the other side of the cultural hall, cowering in the furthest corner from Santa.
This year was different. The family had gone to Bass Pro Shop (i.e. the boat store) to see the fish and the trains in Santa's little land, and as Nate was looking at the trains Santa walked up to say hello. Nathan paused for a second, then shook Santa's hand. Santa then invited Nate and Ella to take a picture with him. Ella thought Santa was cool, and even knew his name, until momma dropped her on his lap and backed away.

Long story short, the kids willingly sat on Santa's lap, and there were no tears.
