Earlier in the week, I decided to go ahead and take the kids to see our favorite Santa for pictures. Maddie was sooooo excited, yet nervous to see him. When we got there, he was on a "cookie break," so we had to wait for him to come. We were the 2nd in line when he came back and Maddie started shaking when he walked up. I thought, "oh great, here we go!" But, much to my dismay, little Madeline walked right up to him and gave him a big hug! Way to go girl....I think she's really buying into the fact that he's in charge of bringing her gifts!!! :) She climbed up on his knee, then pointed to Isaac and told Santa, "This is my bubba, Isaac!" all excitedly! She sure loves the little dude! This is the shot of them posing for the "professional" photographer:
Then, when Santa asked what she wanted him to bring her for Christmas, she holds up her foot and says, "I want some new boots!" What??? I wasn't prepared for that!
Alrighty then!!! He kinda chuckled then said, "I usually don't make promises, but I think I can handle that one!" And he winked at me! I truly felt for the first time, like I was in Santa's club. It was so neat to know that she is so excited about Christmas and all. It's so neat to see it through her eyes. Here she is, after we were done, staring and smiling at Santa as he was sitting with other children. She couldn't take her eyes off of him!
I tried to get some cute pics of the kids together with all the other decorations, but they weren't cooperating with me. One would smile, while the other would look away, and vice-versa. Sigh!! This is what I ended up with:
P.S.: I don't even know what she is doing in the one where she's standing behind him! Seriously...I couldn't pose them that way if I tried!!! :)
And then, there's the classic, "Maddie squeezing the tar out of baby Isaac!" Good times! :)
