Santa at Phipps- report from a first-timer

So we loooooooved our experience with the Phipps Santa! It was so great to have an appointment, and only wait in a short line with our fussy, teething little bumpkin.

My parents came with us and were so pleased with the experience as well. He was such a nice Santa and so gentle and sweet with Cadence. She just looked at him like "Who are you?" I cant' wait to see the pics!

Thanks for the recommedations from all the seasoned Phipps Santas moms!!! We loved it!

 ..oh and we got 4 free wallets for going early..so maybe they will give those to everyone who goes in the next few weeks?..nice bonus!

  • I am glad you guys had a good experience with Santa!!  We are going this Saturday morning for our appointment.  I am definitely looking forward to see how Will does with Santa this year.  I'm happy to hear that they are still doing the extra pictures.
  • UGA- We just got pictures and not video so it was really quick.We checked in with a lady with a clip board, waited on a short line and when it was our turn DH put the baby on Santa's lap. He "talked" to her a little bit then the photographer's assistant shook some marracas to get her to look at the camera..the photo was snapped, we thanked Santa and picked up C, chose and paid for our picture package and that was that. Quick and easy!

  • YAY...this will be our 2nd year...I can't wait to go back!!!!!
  • This is our 8th year going and it is such a wonderful experience!!!  I am so glad that you all had a great time.  We go on Saturday morning and than to lunch. Did you do the video????
  • Mellie- We didn't do the video. It is just not in the budget this year Sad I am excited about having a series of pictures as she grows though! Has it been the same Santa for 8 years? If so that is very cool!

  • I'm glad that you guys had a great experience. Last year, LL had a (cute) scared expression on her face in the photo. I don't know what she is going to do this year! I hope that they still have the free wallet deal tomorrow!

  • Actually the santa we started with died and now there is a new Santa.  They resemble eachother and I think they come from the same small town, but it is so cool to see teh progression.  You will love it!!
