Okay...you begged, yelled, and maybe even cried...so here I go. The first official Santa Shout Out for 2011 goes to Lucas and Brady!
They get the honors because they remembered Santa's birthday and gave him his favorite candy. I ate the last piece yesterday! I want you to know that I have been checking in and you both have been trying very hard to be good. Keep it up! (Here's a great example of the both of you with Tiegen!) Santa wants to thank you two again for remembering my birthday, and your gift was a really good treat.
I have been really busy here for the most part, and we have broken a few photo records. It is nice it be busy and the kids are sooo cute. Today we had a lot of "lookie lews" and "check me outs" but we still did okay from where I was sitting.
We had one boy 4 yr old boy today who would NOT sit with Santa for a picture. After 35-40 minutes, we still never got a great picture...even with me, two helpers, and the boy's parents all involved, we never achieved getting him on my lap. (He would do fist bumps, and high fives, and come to me if I was NOT in the chair.) The parents tried candy and money, and the helpers were even blowing bubbles! Nope, he wanted nothing to do with any of it. FINALLY, he looked at me and ran right to me to give me a hug. So I gave him a BIG long Santa hug (and I mean big). We took a lot of photos and I think it came down to the hug and the fist bump. I don't know what they picked.
I probably have said this a hundred times, but I don't understand why people LOVE the screaming kid picture? We had one where the mom said, "Are you ready, Santa?" and I just had to ask why. She said, Last year my son screamed his lungs out and he's most likely to do it again." PLUS she has a new son (a one yr old) as well. Soooo, she wanted to do the "Plop and Run" with both kids and hope for screams. Well, the older one did not disappoint. He was purple faced in 2 seconds! The younger one came and loved Santa, and smiled! The mom was almost in tears as she wanted both to be screaming. Santa is not one to disappoint, so as mom was coming to get her kids I looked at the younger one and he let out a scream! Mom was thrilled! Santa has two screaming kids, and the kids waiting in line for their turn are about ready to faint. Merry Christmas?
Santa wanted to share a few photos today, but one of my helpers forgot to remind me to take the pictures home with me. So I will share some photos with my next blog. (If I remember) :o)
