We didn't do pics but when we were at the mall there was no line and mila wanted to say hello. I kinda wanted to see how she'd do also.
She was great! She sat on his lap, told him what she wanted, and gave him a hug. She said, "Carson wants to see Santa." Carson cried lol. Our Santa pic may be just mila this year.
We've been twice so far. Plus a couple times walking by saying hi. This is not his year, I can tell you. But daycare warned us that this is about the time they freak out.
We went last weekend bc there was no wait as a practice. Tomorrow I'll be in line for probably 2 hours to see surfing santa since they only do it once a year

We live right behind the mall and it's pretty dead during the week so we've seen him a few times. Daniel is really into Santa this year, Alexander is indifferent, lol
Emerson Kate, born 38w5d on 4/6/12 at 6:02 p.m., 5 lbs 13 oz and 18 3/4 inches. Lucas Matthew, born 39w5d on 4/11/14 at 8:20 a.m., 7 lbs 4 oz and 20 inches.
We went last week. Calvin did fine once I gave him something to hold to distract him, Lincoln cried. He ran away before the picture could even be taken, so I'm in his picture.
I think we are doing a Santa mini tomorrow with another photog. I don't know, it's always a big ordeal and my H pouts about having to go so I won't make him go but I'll spend quadruple the money, lol.

I think we will debate next weekend! Both kids will predictably scream unless I'm in the picture holding both of them lol. A side eyes the shit out of Santa everywhere lol.
We are paying $50 for a 10 minute mini shoot with a photographer. I really hope that Sydney smiles. I will be pissed if I spend that money and get another one of these...
I think we're going to go to my favorite mall santa in a few weeks, and we might go to a local toy store santa, too. My parents take her to a Christmas light thing that she will probably see Santa at, too. I need to wait a few weeks and let her heal up some before we venture out into any germ filled stores.
We go Monday. We always go to a local children's store that has Santa come. They have registration so you never wait more than 5 minutes or so. The best part is it's the same Santa every year, so I have pics of the kids with the same Santa for the past 7 years.
i think E is going to flip his shit and scream again. A best case scenario is that I have to sit with him (which I did for Henry at this age, too)

Hahahaaaaaa! If Santa doesn't work out, we are sooo traipsing down the mall to picture people and getting drakesicle matching offspring pics in snowy Sweden.

Yes! And that's why we're doing Santa dry run here hahahaha.
I will be getting mall santa pics too. I like the background at the mall by dh's work so I need to plan an OC weekday where I can go. Surfing santa pics are free they just upload thousands onto their blog and you download from there
