Jolly Ol' St Nick

Well we made it through yet another year of Christmas pictures. Usually we make an appointment for the first weekend in December, but this year we decided to beat the crowd and get in before Thanksgiving. Apparently everyone else had the same idea because we got in well over an hour after our scheduled appointment time. Thankfully everyone was on their best behavior and we kept our sanity. While we waited to preview the pictures we took the princesses to visit Santa. This is the first year, aside from 6 months old, that Chiggie would even go near him. As you can see from the picture she didn't get too cozy but at least she went up there. Tea thought it was the greatest thing ever and I think Midge was just really confused at that point.



Waiting in line for Santa was ridiculous. We were the 2nd ones in line but the lady ahead of us would settle for nothing short of absolute perfection. Her son, we'll call him "Mikey", was on Santa's lap giving that deer in the headlights look most 3 year olds give and she was barking "smile Mikey, smile." We waited for "Mikey" to smile for like 20 minutes when finally the lady jerked him off Santa's lap and advised the staff that they would be back tomorrow after her and "Mikey" had a little talk. Sucks to be "Mikey".



Anyway, I had planned to buy a disc of the portraits we bought but the studio is on to me and they don't do that anymore. You can have the album e-mailed to you as soon as your package is ready so I signed up for that. That way I can e-mail the entire album to anyone who is interested in seeing some of the shots we didn't order. Trust me the wait will be worth it!
