2011 Photo with Santa!!

Our 2011 Santa visit was fairly uneventful, compared to past years. That is mostly due to the fact that GABBY is no longer scared Santa! This was officially Gabby’s second time taking a HAPPY photo with Santa.

This was Giuliana’s first time taking a photo with Santa, and she was not a fan. As I was holding her and approaching Santa, Giuliana started to cry and put a strong grip on me. I tried putting her in Gabby's lap... but that was next to impossible, as she was screaming and holding on so tight. I just couldn't go through with the Santa-torture. So, I decided to sit down next to Santa and make Dan jump in the photo too! So, here is our family photo with Santa. This is a picture of the picture on the screen from Santa's Workshop. Yes... I'm too lazy to scan the photo. Maybe I'll do that in the coming days. And, had I known I’d be in the photo, I would have actually done something with my hair! Oh well… what you don’t do for your children!

So, of 4 children, only one has been totally un-phased by taking photos with Santa. Rocco has never been scared of Santa. Matteo was NOT a fan of Santa. At all! He acted almost as crazy as Gabby. This was our Santa photo from 2008… it still makes me laugh.

Also included there is Gabby's award-winner photo with Santa from 2006…hilarious!

BTW: The photos included here were all taken while we were waiting to see Santa, or visiting with Santa.
