Santa Claus

Last Sunday we took Olivia to see Santa Claus and she was super excited. She has been watching Polar Express almost every single day and loves Santa in the movie and so we were hoping that this year she would not cry in the picture and well we got our wish. We just forgot to wish for a big SMILE.

The funny thing is that as Santa walked around the mall ringing his jingle bells she was screaming and jumping that Santa was coming. The whole time we waited in line she kept on asking "Olivia go next, mommy???" The excitement lasted all the way into Santa's bench, that is at which point she turned around and started screaming "NO".

I sat with her at first and then slowing made my way off the bench and she cried and cried. When I was ready to take her away Santa somehow managed to talk her into sitting on his lap. Well this is what we got after 20 minutes of pure torture for both my poor baby and us!

HO HO HO

Merry Christmas!

Ps. Oh and I forgot to tell you the best part. LOL If you look carefully you will see that Olivia is holding Santa's Jingle Bells on her left hand. Well when it was time to go she didn't want to give them back and Ryan was struggling to take them from her, when OOPS she ripped the strap in half. LOL, LOL She had half and Ryan had the other half!!! I wish they had allowed me to take pictures in there. I am laughing so hard right now just picturing the look of terror on Ryan's face.
