Let's see Santa

I remember the first year we took Luke and Olivia to see Santa Claus. They were about 2 weeks old and slept through the whole thing. Last year, we tried 3 different times, and each time ended with Luke crying, Olivia crying, or both of them crying. This year we hoped if we talked about Santa a lot, read books, showed them pictures and let them just see him in passing, they would be cool with sitting on his lap for just a minute.

No such luck.

We waited just a few minutes in line with high hopes. We had even planned on having lunch out together as a family complete with a sucker right after their visit with Santa. Well, as soon as we got to the big guy in the red suit, Luke and Olivia clung to us as if we were about to throw them into a pit of fire. There was NO WAY they were letting go of us. Hence, the picture of the 4 of us, which wasn't part of the plan. Oh, well...there's always next year! Until then, enjoy these faces:
