I have never taken any of my kids to the mall to have their photo taken with Santa. I will wait in lines for rides at a carnival or a table at a good restaurant, but I will not wait in a line next to Cinnabon with tons of tired/angry/stressed families to plop my babies down on a strange man's lap, watch them play with his probably super germy beard and pay $20+ for a single picture. Nope, that is one photo you guys will not have in your photo albums.
But then we went to your hair salon today for your haircuts and there was a real live Santa in the store, waiting for kids to take their picture with him. And so you did. Well, GuhGaw and JieJie did. You were so terrified of the tall man in the big red suit (as well as his even taller snowman companion) that when I tried to place you near him, you burst into tears and ran away toward the doors. And JieJie was so shy that she refused to smile or even look at the camera. So my kids' first (and possibly last) photo with Santa was not so picture-perfect:
Hahaha! Merry almost-Christmas!
Love,
Mom
