Our Visit With Santa
Every year we go to see Santa at the Meadows mall. Last year was Landon's first Christmas (almost 10 months old) and first time on Santa's lap. We stood in the long line watching parents and photographers painstakingly trying to get screaming kids to smile (it's fine for a minute or two, but come on guys- move it along). Not us. When it was finally our turn and we set Landon on his lap he totally freaked out. They started jingling bells and trying to make him smile, but I had to stop them. I said just take it. It's a memory, and a dang funny one if I do say so myself. So here's last years picture with Santa. I LOVE IT!!! So classic. Bradley looks so handsome and then there's this crazed, red faced little boy screaming. 
Fast forward to this year. Landon is now almost 22 months and knows who Santa is and will always point out anything "Santa" that he sees. He LOVES Santa as a matter of fact. So we headed to the mall to go see the famous Santa. The whole time we were in line he was amazed that the real Santa was there. He would yell, "I love you Santa!". Very cute. So when it was our turn to go see him Landon would not let go of Frankie to sit on his lap. Eventually we pried him off. He had the most concerned look on his face as he tried to squirm away. The workers said, "Don't worry. We'll get him to smile." And I said "NO, just take it!" So this is what we got his year. Look at Landon's eyebrow's!
Once again I love it! This will be added to the collection of pics from years past with Santa that I put out every year. It's so fun to see how much they change.

i think these are the best pictures ever haha! I did it one year and both girls freaked so bad I was in the shot holding one of them and still, one is reaching for me and screaming! I didnt even go there this year because they kept asking me everytime we went to the mall... is santa here? and Id have to lie and say no because they did not want to run into him... they dont even want presents from him.. only from us(parents) and grandma!!
I love it! So funny and cute. I love all yur Santa pictures.
OMG!!!! Love those pics! Landon just cracks me up! I love the fact that you're "just take it" - that's how it should be 'cause some kids are NOT going to smile. Makin' those memories!!!!!
Next year, I don't think Bradley will fit on Santa's lap! They're both getting so big. And, cute, pictures. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. And those pictures tell a pretty good story.
