Hannah Claire had her first opportunity to meet Santa last night. It went, well not so great. She was fine until I actually handed her over to the big guy. That is when we got this look.
Santa's helpers immediately started snapping pictures. This was a distraction for HC since she is so use to having a flash in her face.
This was the face we got until the pictures were over. Once they ended she turned back around and saw she was still in Santa's lap. She started crying again and dove into Santa's chest. Yes, we laughed. It was hilarious. She was fine once I picked her up. Compared to some of the meltdowns we saw, HC did great. One poor child was about 3 and was clinging to his dad for dear life. Needless to say, he wasn't in the picture with his little sister. We really had fun seeing all of the little ones. The little girl behind us in line came very prepared. She had written a letter to Santa. Not to be selfish, she had also written one for her little sister who couldn't write. It was so sweet. Their mom gave me some great advice. "Always come prepared to be in the picture." I would have never thought of this but it makes tons of sense since many (well maybe all) kids go through that stage.

I am sure she will like him more when she figures out that he brings all the good stuff!!!
The face that HC is making sitting in Santa's lap is EXACTLY the same one that Julia had in the picture Tracy sent me last Christmas. It is an interesting mixture of fear, confusion and curiosity! :) She looks super cute in her little outfit though!
