Sad Santa

December always means a much anticipated Santa Picture. I had such high hopes for this year. Mallory had the cutest Santa outfit, complete with red Ugg like boots, and I was hoping we could use it as our Christmas card. Well I officially need to lower my expectations because something about Santa equals Baby Torture.

Before I show you what happened during "Storytime With Santa" this year, here are some Santas of the past.

Peyton's First Christmas- 6 months old, December 2007.


He LOVED the jolly old fellow. Couldn't get enough of him so we had a round 2!Santa treated himself to some great botox and laser eye surgery in between our visits!



Best friend Aidan was NOT so happy. This picture cracks me up. Santa was sad too.


Christmas 2008- He's not so sure about this anymore. Why are we doing this again? Even Santa seems to be questioning it.



Christmas 2009, Mallory's First Christmas. Sad, Sad Santa.

And Mean Mommy Christmas Card Nazi is yelling at all three of us! Here it is again without the mean mommy.


Christmas 2010-
Started out okay, we were pretty excited to be there and waiting for our turn.


But then it was our turn.

What in the World is this about Mom?!?!?



It quickly turned to this. I've never seen her so upset!



She was actually trying to escape his hold in this picture. Peyton just seems to be holding strong with the "If I don't look at you then maybe this really isn't happening" method.



We know there is always next year. When there will be THREE Yates children to torture on Santa's lap!

Merry Christmas to all!
