Anyway, we went to visit Santa Claus today and it went amazingly well!!! I was shocked because for the last few days I've been asking Alli if she wants to go see Santa and she says "Yes sir" (yes, she was talking to me not her daddy- we need to work on that. "you mean yes ma'am") Then I would ask her if she wanted to sit on Santa's lap for a picture and she very quickly would say "No, I don't want to."
So, I was convinced that neither one of them would sit with him and that I would for sure be in the picture again this year. So, I put some nice clothes on and did my make-up to be ready for my Santa picture and to my surprise, it was for nothing (well, there was that nice lady who said I couldn't possibly be old enough to have 2 kids- that was definitely worth it! what every mom needs to hear right?) The point was that the kids sat with Santa all by themselves!
However, it was a good thing that we were the only people there cause we spent LOTS of time talking to and warming up to Santa first (he and his elves were so very patient). And the first photos looked a little something like this (or worse)...
Notice Santa seems to be the only one smiling. So after another 15 or so pics and mom sitting on the floor acting a fool playing peek-a-boo, we got this...
Yay- I think I see some smiles! I still can't believe they sat there long enough to finally get a good one. Then when it was time to leave, Alli could not quit looking over and waving at Santa. Now she keeps asking when we will go see him again.

The pic turned out great! It is nice to be the only ones there so that you can get a good pic. That's funny about putting all of the holidays together- it is a lot of process.
Isn't it nice when people think you're too young to have kids- I got that a few weeks ago, but I think my hair was pulled back and I had very little make-up on, and I always wonder just how old they think I am and how old is old enough to have kids?!
Alli's a smart girl with saying Santa's not there anymore! I've been using that to bribe Autumn to be good, too. She looks all around when I say it like she's kind of spooked! She's always been a little afraid of that Santa concept anyways!
