Santa 2012

**EDITED TO ADD NEW AND IMPROVED SANTA PICTURE!  We had to go shopping at the mall today, so decided to give Santa another try.  Alyssa refused to sit on his lap, but at least she stood by him and smiled!  Addison was very excited and didn't hesitate to sit on Santa's lap this time!**

Why do I do this to my kids?  Why do I insist on a picture with Santa every.single.year?  Yes, I'm that mom.  The torture only lasts a few seconds and then there's a picture that lasts forever.  My girls will either love me or hate me when they are older.  Although, I can't imagine them ever saying "Gosh, I wish mom didn't have so many pictures of us".  If Alyssa has nightmares from her visit with Santa, then I'll cross that bridge when we get there.  Addison still won't sit on Santa's lap, but she happily talks to him and stands by his side for a picture.  Maybe next year there won't be any tears shed in the Santa picture.

Walk down memory lane...
