Some of you might recall the girls' first experience meeting Santa last year. It was a tad traumatic to say the least, but it helped me to realize how scary Santa must look to little children. So after warning the girls of his large red suit and big fluffy hat, we decided to try again, hoping that they might be more open to befriending the bearded stranger.
(that just sounds so wrong to me)
A year later, they were still not amused by him, or his miniature candy canes, and the only person they wanted holding them was their dad. We had not intended on being in the picture with them, but it was for the best.
Afterwards, when the girls were drawing on their letters for Santa, and marvelling at the miniature train station, the jolly man motioned for them to come over and see him. You could tell that he genuinely wanted them to be comfortable around him, but it just wasn't going to happen. Brenna and Brooke were immediately rooted in our laps chanting "I don't want it," over and over.
We did ask them what they wanted Santa to bring them for Christmas.
Brooke, whose eyes were still locked on the large scary man, replied that she would like a choo-choo train and baby brother.
Brenna had a few more gifts in mind that included a choo-choo train, puppy, baby brother, lipstick, bunny, sheep, piggy and chicken.Santa has his work cut out for him this year.

haha! i love that you're sitting on his lap! i'm sure that after that, you are on the "nice" list ;)
Baby Brother.. are you trying to hint at something ;)
Well, since I know for sure you aren't going to be able to "deliver" on the baby brother by this Christmas your girls are always welcome to play big sisters to Drew, he LOVES them and their constant loving care and attention.
The girls and santa!!! Thats funny how they hate the bearded fat man!!! Sorry we couldn't make it. Robyns still a bit under the weather.
Kids have a way of knowing about things, 2 months after Pantera said she was going to have a baby brother I was prego with Zeke. That was after 2 years of trying...be careful, unless your ready and in that case early congrats;)
Love that Christmas list, esp the baby bro & piggy. :)

I remember and LOVE the Santa pics from last year! This year's are even better cause you are on Santa's lap smiling, and your girls still look a little terrified. Great picture! We've seen the Santa at the mall, at Bass Pro Shop twice, and at Daddy's work party and Noelle still hates him!
So FUN! Your family is the cutest!
