We have been taking Jude to see Santa from the time he was an infant and we did the same with Teagan. Teagan, however, is terrified of all things in costumes – including Santa. All of our pictures that have included Teagan have had tears or one of us holding Teagan during the photo. Jude loves the day we go and see Santa because he gets to finally speak to this guy face to face but the trauma of the visit is sometimes not worth if for Teagan.
BUT this year was different!!
Smiles!!! Okay, giant cheese smiles but smiles!! Teagan agreed to sit with Santa as long as Jude sat in between them – deal!! After the photo Teagan actually went up to Santa and told him what she wanted for Christmas and then gave him a HUG!! A HUG people!!
2015 Santa Visit was a success!!
What have your kids told Santa they want for Christmas?
My boys are 8 & 11 and had ZERO interest in seeing Santa this year. Sigh.
Aw! We went on Sunday night. My son is only three and stayed back. My daughter told him she wanted a giant Elsa doll and a pink nutcracker! We shall see..
My guys are also 9 and soon to be 12- we don't visit Santa, but we still believe!
I think all of mine are past this age. I say "think" because one says he still believes but hasn't asked Santa for anything in two years.
We saw Santa at the end of our Polar Express ride and my 5 year old asked for a My Little Pony set…which was a huge win because it just so happens to be in my closet waiting to be wrapped. 🙂
Your kids are sooo cute! My son stopped wanting to see Santa! I'm soooo sad! Enjoy while you can!
What a cute photo! We do not do santa in our home but we respect those that do 🙂
My daughter loved Santa when she was young, but screamed when she saw the Easter Bunny! I love the cute faces of your kids – this photo is a keeper.
As my kids are all over 20 they may not be visiting Santa anymore. But they def.have put in their lists!
Aww, you have to frame that picture! Too cute! I'm glad this Santa visit worked out!
This is my son's first year not to believe. He did take a picture w/Santa though, to appease me. 😉
Wow, that Santa looks just like the real guy! My kids have a list for him for sure!
That is a great picture! My kids have told Santa everything they want this year and taken many pictures.
