Pictures with Santa!

Saturday afternoon, Clayton and I decided to take Anna
to see Santa Clause.We have been practicing relentlessly
with her on what Santa says and what he looks like. She
always says "Hu hu huh" instead of "ho ho ho" but at least
she tries! Anyway, she always loves to point out "Sanna"
to us whenever she sees decorations of him. I was pretty
optimistic that she would be okay with Santa once we saw
him. Notice, however, that there are no pictures of Santa.
I couldn't even get her to sit on his lap. She started screaming
bloody murder like 12 feet away from him! He even tried to
lure her in with some candy...but she was not buying it. I
haven't seen her get this upset in a long long time! These
pictures are pictures that were taken after we traumatized
her with Santa. She is definitely NOT a happy girl! This
trip just didn't turn out like I thought it would in my mind! I
guess better luck next year!



She is so mad at us! She wouldn't even smile!


We look like little oompa loompas. Or at least I do anyway.


Not ONE smile.


Not even with Daddy.


The car ride home after Santa. Very pleased as you can tell

She looks traumatized in that last picture. Hallee hated Santa last year, and this year she saw him at walmart and she wouldn't sit on his lap, but she did take the candy cane he gave her and matter-of-factly told him that she wanted him to bring her a computer and a bell and ariel dress. That's definitely progress!

How cute, even though there were no smiles. I can't wait to see what Wade does when we get pictures taken with Santa...

That is so funny! I can remember going through that stage with my oldest. My other kids are a lot more "friendly" with Santa since they get to see their older sister visit him first and then they realize he's not so bad!

I love it! Why is it they talk about him and then when they actually see him it is like he is the scariest thing ever! My kids are the same way. She is so cute, I can't believe how big she is getting, they grow up too fast!

Only Anna could still look adorable when she's pissed. And I don't think you look like an oopa loopa in that picture...I think you look like you're taking a dump in the woods! Love ya:)
