Meeting Santa

The mall was packed the night Santa arrived, so I told Sage that we'd come back during the week to get their picture made. Wasn't she afraid of Santa? So many have asked me. Well let me tell you that this kid is a different person since she's become a big sister. She did actually talk to Santa the night he arrived. We just didn't do pics because Jaggar was falling apart. She climbed in his lap without ME and said that she'd like a bubblegum machine. Then he asked her if she liked surprises (which was precious) and said, "I'm good at surprises." He told her that she could come back because he'd be there a LONG time (no kidding).

So on Monday, that's exactly what we did because I knew there wouldn't be anyone there during school, and I was correct. I didn't really expect to get 2 different poses because they charge an arm and a leg for a camera that is not as good as our's, BUT when I saw how sweet they were, I couldn't resist. Jaggar will almost always smile at anyone and everyone, but he was so taken aback by all the THINGS: nutcrackers, snowmen, snow, lights, trees...that we simply got him to look at the camera. But on that second one...the sweet look at Santa is my favorite. We love Santa! So when I was choosing what I wanted, Santa handed Jaggar to me and said, "Sage, come here, let me show you something." He picked her up, put her hand in his, and started dancing and singing to "walking in a winter wonderland." It was SO precious, and I SO wished I'd had my camera to take a picture of that and the look on her face. I said, "Do you think ANYONE has ever danced with Santa?!" She was pretty sure they hadn't.My favorite
