Santa at Uvillage


On Black Friday Kip, Madeline, Jilly, Obie and I went to Uvillage to get our Santa picture. I was expecting crazy madness but we found a parking spot immediately and were second in line, with no one behind us. Madeline was being really outgoing and I felt really hopeful that she'd smile for Santa. We'd spent a lot of time looking at last year's picture and were definitely excited to see him again. What a faker. She would not let go of me. At all. I even tried to bribe her with a brownie...didn't work. She had it clenched in her fist and Jilly kept trying to go after it. I was sweating big time. In the end it worked though....

OMG, can't believe I haven't commented on this! Kip looks like he donned his finest for the picture and has the perfect 'hat' head for santa. You guys do look really cute though, a tad dorky, but super fun. You could always take her back a get a screaming picture...i have a free coupon. Who was supposed to be wearing the antlers at your feet?
