Soo jealous of all the Santa pics!

I am soooo freaking jealous of all you ladies with the absolutely adorable Santa pictures!!!  I really wanted to do it this year but I just know for sure that Ellie will refuse violently.  Firstly, she is in the phase where she says no to anything we want her to do, and secondly she is very slow to warm up to new people and places, so I'm positive asking her to sit on the lap of a total stranger with a huge white beard in a public place is just asking for a loud and panicked No!

But all these pics you are posting are so totally cute!!  I really hope next year we can make it happen.

  • I would NEVER take Simon anywhere near Santa! Unlike Ellie, he's too young to refuse, but he would freak out and scream his head off and I just don't want to do that to him.  His molars are stressful enough.  Don't worry, some day our kids will ask to go see Santa and then we can take them!

  • We didn't get any pictures either although we tried! Sarah was fine seeing Santa but NOT fine sitting on his lap.

  • Count us in with the no Santa picture either.  S has major stranger anxiety and I just couldn't put her through that this year.  (even though I secretly wanted even a crying picture)  Hopefully by next year, it will be better.
