O has always loved going to see Santa because Santa gives her candy canes and in her mind people who give her candy = awesome. So for the last several years our trips to see Santa have been filled with excited anticipation, not tears. But C is apparently not so easily won over.
First she eyed the big red man suspiciously.
And then she said "get me the hell out of here!"
Is it wrong that I was laughing the entire time?
Hahahahaha! I feel for her! You probably know enough about Joe at this point to realize that sitting on Santa's lap is a HELL TO THE NO for him. This kid won't give a good bye "high five" to people he's known all of his life, he sure as hell ain't sitting on the lap of a strange dude in costume. But he did photobomb his friends' Santa shoots at preschool - you can see a tuft of Joe hair sticking out the side of Santa's chair. I will treasure those photos.
ReplyDeletesoo funny. i'm laughing here, too. that guy's a little thin to be Santa. maybe he wasn't convincing enough? ;) though he does get extra points for the real beard (at least it looks real to me). iris is terrified of strangers but loved Santa this year. go figure!
ReplyDeleteI love 'scared of santa' photos! Gosh C seems to have turned from baby into little girl overnight, though!
ReplyDeleteHuh, apparently bribery and corruption *doesn't* get you everywhere! Hope he doesn't hold it against her on Wednesday ;o)
ReplyDeleteI had to stand in for my daughter this year! last year's photo looked just like yours.
ReplyDeleteStill, they always love his "work" if not his physicality, right?!
