Santa

what parent doesn't want to get their little one's first picture with santa?!?

getting out in the rain - thinking you got there early enough - get to the line to think hey, we're not too far back - then have one of the little helpers get in line right behind you to say 'santa takes a break in about an hour, but I'm pretty sure everyone in front of me already in line will get their pic before the break' - ummmm.... no!!  

needless to say - 3 hours later - pic done!!

not half bad if I do say so myself.  no crying, which was good, but one VERY tired little baby!  wouldn't sleep while we waited - so by the time we got to santa -  smiling wasn't in the cards!

good news is... once we left santa, put her back in her stroller and started to walk away... the giggles and smiles began.... really?!?!

all in all it was a great day and we got her first pic taken with Santa!!

mom and dad feel like they accomplished quite a bit!!!
