santa went exactly how we expected this year. everyone was happy and all smiles while we stood in line. and then the moment came. is that not hilarious? yeah, we think so too!
cayden adored santa this year. even walked up to him and said, "i like you santa." and santa being the great guy that he is, responded with a hearty, "i like you, too." cayden climbed right up beside him on the bench and continued to talk to santa. jeremy carefully tried to back sawyer into santa's lap... but i think we can all see how that went. so while sawyer was screaming, cayden was smiling and talking. the photo? epic for sure. and sawyer closely resembles a one and a half year old cayden a couple of years ago. it was perfect. and even after we got sawyer off santa's lap, cayden continued to chat with santa... telling him about the 'vengers, 'vengers bicycle & 'vengers skateboard that he wants. too bad his interest in the avengers didn't come last year. you know, when everyone had avengers everything. santa's going to be getting creative this year for sure.
after santa, we hopped on over to the carousel - complete with reindeer! sawyer was very uninterested in the carousel at first. like busting eardrums-type of uninterested. but after it started going, he calmed down and enjoyed the ride. cayden was mesmerized and loved it. and jeremy? well, i think you can hear how he felt about it. it was a wonderful morning that was mostly enjoyed by the kiddos. and i can't wait to add this years photo to the previous ones!

That is so awesome, I love it. Mine usually had this I'm not sure who this dude it look, but I enjoy that you also take pictures of your kids screaming as I take those pictures too. Life is not all smiles all the time :)
Hilarious! That poor child, the torture. :) Unrelated: I adore Cayden's hair. Such a doll.
oh, we for sure got a blank stare from cayden last year... there's just something so funny about the screaming photos though. i mean, it's just so real!
that's so awesome. I've got to take the boys REAL soon!! Balin screamed his first time...then when he was 2, we went to visit Santa on the Polar Express. He absolutely LOVED him....after that, good ol' CLC brought on Santa pictures at school and that was fine with me! this year will be interesting with the 2 of them, but I have a sneaky suspicion that Lowen will be like 'whatever dude.'...
we went first thing saturday morning and there was barely a line. i suggest going early before it gets crazy. lowen will most definitely be cool with anything i'm sure. next year? might be a different story ;-)
This is amazing. I can't wait to see the picture with my girls. I have a feeling it will be quite similar!!!!
haha! i can't wait to see it either! hoping my little 1.5 year old isn't the only one to completely melt down!
