Santa Baby

So we're in the middle of getting 2-4 inches of snow this evening, but I couldn't pass up free Santa pictures (a la bring they provide the Santa, you provide the camera) at the Library tonight. So we braved the roads (they weren't too bad) and drove down. I guess because it was snowing, there weren't as many people, but there was still a decent line. It gave us a chance to point Santa out to Sariah and try and get her ready to sit on his lap...

...it didn't really help...
She still wasn't really sure about the whole thing, but she calmed down for a quick couple of seconds when he gave her a candy cane.

Hey, its important to get that picture with Santa, even if she's crying, right?

After our Santa visit, we headed over to the story time room for a fun Christmas themed story time. There was fun books, a puppet show, a Mickey Mouse cartoon & a reindeer hat craft! Sariah enjoyed glueing her reindeer hat & coloring it, but she didn't really want to wear it.
We wore her down eventually though and caught one or two pictures. It was past bedtime so you can see how tired she looks.
So we drove back home through the falling snow. Maybe it was crazy to go out, but I think it was totally worth it!

Here's the two videos I took. They might still be processing, so check back if they don't work right away...

Thomas and James cried their eyes out when on Santa's lap at that age, too. Age 3 wasn't any better. Funny that such a beloved man causes so many tears...

Cute anyway. Hope Sariah has a wonder-filled Christmas. Glad you braved the snow and got out for some fun.

Can't say I blame her. If someone tried to sit me on a random stranger's lap I probably wouldn't be too happy either, I suppose. But it does make for cute pictures. :)
