Santa Pictures 2011

Well it did not go like we had hoped it would go with Santa this year. Ever since Elliott was born we have gone to see Santa at the South Hill Mall and it has been a great experience. Well this year not so much. Elliott always loved Santa and would do a great job. Edith was not sure last year and this year we were pretty adamant that we were not going to sit on him. We took her to see him and just visit one day and he came out and talked to her and played with her and she did great but then we came back and tried the actual sitting on his lap thing and that was not going to happen. Elliott went right for him and Edith had the death grip on my shoulder. Santa then said that he had to go help his Elves and left and we got her to sit in his chair and play and then Santa popped up behind the chair and we got a few of those and then she saw him and was okay. We then thought that we would try the sitting on his lap thing again and well here are the pictures.



This was just a fun one that the photographer took. I asked Wes to hold my purse while I delt with Edith and the photographer asked Wes to fix Elliott's shoes and then the picture happened.
