We Gave it a Try...

We went to the Christmas Party at LMH, Chris' new employer, this week. Santa was there so your child could get their picture taken with him. We thought we'd see how Ava would do. I knew I'd have to sit by her but wasn't sure how she'd react to the man in the big red suit. The picture explains her feelings.
NOT A HAPPY CAMPER! :o( She was only with Santa for less than a minute but that was long enough for the pouty face. We completely understand her fears and just snapped a few shots and were on our way.
We moved on to the Children's Room where Ava (with help from Mommy) made a set of reindeer antlers. She was a little happier with this.

Maybe in a few years she'll be more relaxed with Santa. I'm sure it's pretty scary for a little kid.

That is sad but soo cute I love Ava's expression. I am expecting the same reaction from Lucy. You look great in the Santa picture by the way!

I love that picture of Ava. It's way more fun than a chipper, smiley one!
