Photos With Santa

On Friday evening, we took the little one to get photos done with Santa. At first, we did a family shot, to try to get her used to the Big Guy (and that picture turned out crappy, luckily it was all done digitally, so we were able to scrap it and demand another one!)


Then, we left the kid to take a picture with Santa by herself, but she would have none of it! She cried as I set her on his lap, and was much to squirmy to even get a crying Santa shot, so, Santa just knelt on the floor, and the camera guy got a pic as Cherry was running towards her daddy who was standing by the camera guy.


You can't really tell here, but she's a good two feet ahead of him running away as the photo was shot! At least she's smiling!



Then we demanded another family shot, and here it is. Do I look eight and a half months pregnant to you? Naw, didn't think so! Black is a magical shade to wear!

(much better than the white outfit from the last holiday!)

That's a GREAT picture of Cherry!! You would never know she was trying to make the great escape. Beautiful! Imagine, next Christmas you will be trying to hang onto a running toddler while Santa holds the 11 month old!

You so don't even look pregnant in that picture! But I know you are cuz I saw it for myself! :) The pic with Cherry and Santa is so cute. Never would have guessed that she is running away from him though.

Great picture! If you hadn't told, no one would know that she is smiling because she is escaping from scary Santa (who really looks perfectly pleasant). The family picture is wonderful too. You look so pretty, and not at all as if you could be eight months along. (Black never worked that well for me -- you must be tiny.)
