For the past 2 years we have been going to a photo studio near our house, to get the kids picture taken with Santa. It is so nice because you can make an appointment and show up with no lines. Santa already knows the kids names and even who is who. He is really nice and very real looking.
(unlike this guy from Kegan's first visit, at the mall) Notice how happy Kegan is, even as an 11 month old!
This past Tuesday we went to get Kegan and Parker's pictures taken this year. Kegan has loved Santa EVERY YEAR since his birth. Parker has been terrified of Santa every year since her birth.
Here is a reminder of last year's visit.
Well this year we
thought were hoping that it would be a different story. We talked a lot about the visit before we went and Parker started to get really excited. Tuesday, I got home from work and woke Parker up from her nap. I asked, Are you ready to go see Santa?" She replied, "Yep! I'm going to jump up on his lap!" She continued with her enthusiasm as we got ready, drove to the studio, and walked through the door. Santa walked up to Kegan and started talking to both kids. Parker bravely (as she was behind Kyle's leg) says, "I'm going to jump up on your lap!" I was shocked. Then she QUICKLY changed her mind. She started crying and said she didn't want to see Santa anymore. So, I had to be in the picture with her and Kegan (which I was not excited about!) Kegan was of course a pro and LOVED Santa!
Here are the proofs from this year's session. Notice how Parker pretty much refuses to look at Santa.
Better luck next year! Right?
