After much deliberation on Chris and my part, we decided to have Cameron's picture taken with Santa. We both agree that it's "torture" to an extent to make your child sit on the lap of some strange looking guy in a red suit. Yet on the same token we know that it's a tradition that will be fun to look at in the future.
So, we waited until the very last minute (December 22nd to be exact) and headed to the mall to see Santa. Fortunately we went during the late afternoon and there wasn't really a line. We were given some prep time to get to know Santa prior to the picture, which I thought for sure would make it worse. To my surprise he didn't mind Santa one bit! He smiled and "flapped" around like a bird (he does this when he's happy/excited). In fact I left him with Santa while I picked out the pictures and he didn't even cry! I held out my arms to get him when I was done and he just continued to want to sit with Santa. I mentioned to Santa that I could just leave him there, but I don't think he'd appreciate that :)
So in other words, Santa = Success!
Truthfully, this whole mall santa/picture ordeal is a rip off. $25 dollars later and we have 2 low quality 5x7's, but I guess that's not what it's all about! Sorry the quality is so low we had to take a pic with my phone (of course we could have opted to add a cd for $7--Ha!)
Love,
Chris, Amber & Cameron
