Making Memories Of Us.....: "I see Santa"

Hadley's been saying "I see Santa" meaning I'm going to go see Santa! We've been talking about it a lot so she understands what we're doing this year..... in hopes she could be calm and not freaked out. Well she still freaked out turns out. She did like him when mommy sat with her. Last year we did the free Bass Pro Shop Santa. This year we went to my sister's in-laws housing development where they had a santa and a professional photographer. It was also free and such a great set up! So thank you Frank and Cora!

Hadley was excited to see Santa but she did NOT want to sit on his lap by herself. I had to get "the shot" so I dropped and ran after we sat together. It's very similar to last years. One day she'll like him :) Until then, we can enjoy her being traumatized. Hopefully she won't need therapy for this.

Hadley's cousins Max and Colette went after us. Max has been SOOO excited to tell Santa what he wants for Christmas (a shoot gun and bow and arrow haha typical boy). We thought this year he would make it without crying because he understood he needed to tell Santa something. Well turns out he also just wanted his parents and to TELL Santa his wishes NOT sit with him.

Colette was the winner! She was happy as can be, that is until she actually LOOKED at Santa. But she lasted a very long while so she wins! She's also 6 months old and just now entering stranger danger so she was just at the right time.

not exactly happy but not crying
and I will just add, my red hunter rain boots like amazing with the backdrop haha
it did actually happen to be raining that day
