Pre-Christmas Festivities

So prior to Christmas as many parents around the globe we took our daughter to be tortured by Santa!  Last year it went well!  This year......well it started like this......



See now doesn't she look like the kinda kid who is looking forward to seeing Santa.  The last photo was taken just after Santa walked by and waved.  I had said to Chris many times she was going to cry.  He was sure she wouldn't.  Well after you see the photo you will know who was right.  All was going so good until Chris took the stroller and I rounded the corner and went to sit her down on his lap.  Any guesses as to the outcome??  


Yep that's me in the photo.  She screamed bloody murder and was yelling "Mama" for the first photo.  Then we tried to put her on a rocking horse and crop me out of the picture......yeah right that was a negative too!  So, I didn't really want to pay all that money for a photo of my child screaming so I opted for the photo of me and her with Santa! 

Every year I enjoy hand making holiday cards.  Well this year it just didn't happen for more reasons then I can even say.  So I figured we will use our Santa picture and do a photo card.....um yeah....NOT!

So that night we were planning on putting ornaments on the tree with Taylor and decided to put her back in her Christmas dress and fancy shoes and see what kinda photos we could get!  What a success it was! She had a great time and loved putting the ornaments on the tree!  Most of the ornaments we ended up putting up were non-breakable.  We will try good ones next year!  We also got her a Little People Nativity Set for under the tree too!  She loved playing with all the characters and giving them kisses.  =)
