The Santa Circuit

So, we tried our best to get a Santa picture today and visited 3, yes, 3 Santas today. We went to Kerby Lane for breakfast this morning and the Doll Shop next door had a Santa, so we decided to stop by on our way to the mall. Not the most authentic Santa, but we thought we would start slowly with me standing next to Santa holding Sadie.
Next, we went to Barton Creek Mall and Santa went on a lunch break as soon as we arrived. We watched the train go around the track a couple of times and then headed to Lakeline Mall (or South Dallas, as Matt likes to call it.) We waited in line for close to an hour watching other kids sit on Santa's lap and talking about "our friend, Santa" and she still screamed her head off when the time came for the pic.
She settled down as soon as I picked her up (when the photographer said, "ok mom you can go get her.") But, I think we salvaged the day by heading to the Trail of Lights with Bebe and "Papa" (her name for Grandpa tonight). We walked a long way, but it was a beautiful, cool and breezy night. Sadie loved looking up at the tunnel of lights above as Daddy tilted the stroller back for her to see.

Bo has always been the same way. We have taken him to see Santa the past 3 years and he has screamed every time. I really hope we aren't scarring him for life.
