Santa Picture

Every year, my school's PTA has "Evening with Santa." This year I volunteered to work and helped greet families as they arrived. My favorite part was to escort Santa himself in and take him to his post! Matt brought Olivia so that she could give him her list and try to get a picture.



I was excited that the same Santa was here from last year! Olivia had her picture taken with 2 different Santas last year. Her best picture was with this Santa. Now that she is older and is understanding things more, I wasn't sure what was going to happen.



Things were okay until we were in line and many of the other children were flipping out! She started to get this concerned look on her face, so I crossed my fingers and hoped we could get at least one picture. Here is how it went... (the pictures are the ones Matt took while the photographer took the other ones. The flash makes some of the pictures really bright).





Mommy....I don't think I want to talk to Santa anymore....

Hey...what's this toy? (the photographer is trying to distract her.......)

This isn't that bad..... I am NOT going to smile though....

I am still thinking about this and no I will NOT smile!! This is as good as it gets! Can we go now?

The last picture was the best of what Matt took. I hope the photographer got better ones. SO far, this will be the Christmas card picture (after is edited because of the brightness). Of course, after I picked her up out of Santa's lap, she was all smiles and even started talking to Santa. Oh well! It was fun and there weren't any tears!
