For those of you that remember, Madigan was not so crazy about Santa in 2009. In fact, it took about 2 hours of coaxing from me, Ted, Santa, an elf, the photographers, and every other innocent bystander to even get her in the room.
After the 2 hours of desensitization, she finally sat in his lap and we got a decent picture.Madi and Santa - 2009
This year was MUCH different. Madigan has been talking about Santa for weeks and even hand wrote him a letter requesting a present and outlining exactly where she would be on Christmas morning. When it came time for her to get her picture made with him, she hopped up on his lap, looked right at the camera and gave her best smile.Madi & Santa - 2010
Oh, you want me to look cute for the camera while you read my letter? Okay!
As for Paxton, last year was a piece of cake. Pretty sure we could have laid him on a cement block and he would have been content. Put him in the lap of a loving Santa, he was happy to stay all day!Paxton & Santa - 2009
He even let Santa turn him around so that we could get a picture of the "Little Elf" butt!
This year, he was a little less sure of the jolly man in the red suit. Even with sister sitting beside him, we couldn't get him to smile for the camera. At least he wasn't crying!Paxton & Santa - 2010
All in all though, it was a very successful Santa sighting. Thanks to Santa for putting our kiddos in your Christmas tour. Now if we can contain the excitement for just one more week!!!
