It’s always an experience to get her picture done with Santa. She is so excited about it…. until we get up there for the picture. We were so surprised she sat with him this year and we didn’t have to be in it…. We weren’t too picky about the smile (because immediately after they snapped this shot, she started to scream). Santa said next year she will really like him.
The previous years…
This was an experience. The last two years we have just thrown her on his lap. This year she went ballistic…. Screaming, crying, scared to death. Looking back I wish I had just told Santa to hold her so we would have had the classic “screaming in Santa’s lap” pic, but in the moment it didn’t occur to me. I just felt so bad for the nice Ol Saint Nick and the lady and Santa just kind of told us to get in the picture with her. At first I didn’t think Santa was even going to be in the picture but then he knelt down by my knee. So, it turned out as a family pic because Mollie “no like Santa Claus.” And for the rest of the day she was “scared Santa Claus.”
It’s fun to compare with the last couple years too. Same sweet girl, same sweet Santa…
