Is there a thread for this already? I checked 3 pages deep and didn't see it.
LittleOlive was not feeling Santa this year, he was excited all morning and happy waiting in line, then when it was his turn he wanted nothing to do with him. This was from a family party so not the best Santa, I think we are going to skip the mall this year also and spare littleOlive the nightmare!
LOL. I think it is her "Santa face". Santa was at daycare yesterday so we decided to test the waters and see if she would sit with him. She looked at him for a while, didn't seem thrilled about the idea but DH sat her in the chair next to him and she made the same crying face. Full out terror.
I kinda wish we'd ever gotten a screaming Santa pic, but DD LOVES him! She just gets kind of shy. This year she went all out in Christmas finery, and had a list of about 10 things she wanted.
I present to you the best Santa pictures ever. He spent a lot of time talking to DD to make her feel comfortable before we handed her over. She normally dislikes men with facial hair and had just freaked out two days prior when walking past the Walmart santa. I think this guy is the real deal.
I call this her Santa mugshot. She only agreed to do it because it meant she got to get close to the reindeer. After she hopped off his lap she yelled "bye bye........reindeer!" Sorry it's huge, don't care.
DS flipped out so we couldn't even get near Santa. I was holding DS and Santa snuck up behind us for the picture. It was kinda creepy cause I didn't realize he was going to do that.
She was still too nervous to enjoy sitting with santa but she was very happy to see him from afar and very sweetly waved and said "bye santa" as we were leaving. He was a very sweet and patient santa.
I have a good one this year! DS has been scared of Santa in past years, but at almost 3yo this year he's starting to "get it." I'm sure the 10 minute line INSIDE of a toy store this year instead of a 60+ min line OUTSIDE helped a lot. He climbed right into Santa's lap and said he wanted "cars and movies, both."
LOLing at all the screaming/crying babies!! Awesome
I'm gun shy about pics with Santa after waiting in line with DD1 who had been so excited to see him and said she wanted a picture with him. I was pregnant at the time, but still waited for an hr and a half and when it came to our turn, she refused to sit with him she was so afraid!!! Like screamed and cried refused. I swore I was never doing it ever again.
