We did Santa pictures twice. The first time the kids were all decked out, but Naomi was a whiny little cuss and her dress was all a mess and such. So the second time, we took them in matching jammies (since Santa always wears jammies) and the picture turned out much better. So here they are!
* I lied, this is OCD-related. I always break into a cold sweat when I see Santa's hands touch my kids (or worse yet, as in that first picture, where my kids actually touch Santa's hands).** Also I worry about them catching lice or bedbugs or the flu from all the other kids Santa has held. But you can't skip Santa pictures. You just can't. I just had to double my anti-anxiety medication, is all.
** And don't even get me started on the time I took my one-and-a-half month old baby to see Santa. Her face actually touched his beard. His BEARD. But I can't complain because it is the most precious picture ever to exist in this world. Ever. Like, I could win a Major Award with this shit.
Merry Christmas, beloved friends. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and that the New Year treats you well. And I hope that none of you catches Salmonella from the homemade eggnog.
Awww, they are so cute! I too think of all the germs floating around Santa.
ReplyDeleteI like to think that Santa is magically permanently coated with a perma-layer of Peppermint scented Handi-Bac. Which is how he manages to snap umpteenbajillion photos with snotty lil' kids between Turkey Day and Dec 24, and still fly around & deliver prezzies on Dec 25.
ReplyDeleteI think you're on to something.
DeleteThat is truly the best Santa ever. If Caius actually wanted to see Santa, that's the one we'd see. :)
