Santa Babies

Amazingly....this is the FIRST picture ever of the girls with Santa Claus. Violet has never wanted to go near the guy, and Hazel never knew she had the option. So this year we took the girls to "Breakfast With Santa" (which coincidentally should have been called "Little Round Doughnuts and Apple Juice boxes With Santa", they used the word "Breakfast" a little too loosely), and I had to give Violet a little pep talk which went something like....

"It's just a guy in a suit, stand next to him, smile, and don't make a scene, or all you'll get for Christmas is swiss cheese and a coloring book that's already been colored".

Ok, so maybe that wasn't exactly how it went, but she got the point. And this is the picture we got.

Such brave girls. Glad Violet won't just have swiss cheese and ABC (already been colored) coloring book for Christmas. :).

Looks like she understood - even if she did give that cheesy, "I'm only smiling because you threatened me" smile. :-)

Love the fake smiles and the fact that you can hardly see any of Santa's face! Those fake beards get a little too hairy!

I'm glad the threat worked. Its an adorable picture (even with the fake smile.) And Hazels skirt is absolutely LOVELY. I'll bet she got to dress herself. Such beautiful girls. Mom aka Gma
