And do you know those people didn't buy a photo and are going to come back and torture that child a second time in the hopes of getting a 'perfect' Santa photo.
Why do parents not realize that if their kid is screaming on Santa's lap there's not much you're gonna do to get him/her to stop?? Just take the #$%%$^ picture and move on with your lives people!!
Actually, I like those pictures. They make me laugh. We only have one. I believe it was the year my son was almost 2. He cried. I knew he would. The lady kept trying to make him smile and I just told her 'don't worry about it, just take the picture'. I'm all about living in the moment. If he was crying that year then that's the memory I want to record, not a fake one.
By the way, that year he cried til he discovered that Santa had M&M's in his basket. Then he decided that maybe the big guy in the red suit wasn't so bad after all! hehe
So here are a few pics of the kiddos this year. I'm so happy to see that even at almost 7 & 9 they are still super excited to see Santa.
Ben having a deep conversation with Santa. This year's question? Don't you get full eating all those cookies??
Santa said time doesn't matter on Christmas Eve for him (i.e. time stands still) & therefore he doesn't get full. But on any other day he would get full if he ate that many cookies!
Oh yes, I have very curious children!! hehe
I don't have photos of my youngest from age 1 to age 4 with Santa. I couldn't even get him near him and this year (age 4) was a little iffy. The week before she walked a large circle away from him and then the week we went she decided she was a big girl and could do it. I do have crying ones from when she was 1..actually 2..cause she did fine for one photo and then the boys insisted on being with her and that was a crying one.
