We went to the mall yesterday to take pictures with Santa. To our dismay, when we arrived, Santa was going to be taking a break, so they closed the line so Santa could finish the rest of those pictures, and we would need to wait for 2 hours for him to come back from break at about 6pm.
Sooo.. we walked around the mall a little, and then we looked at the line at 5pm, and there were alread a bunch of people standing there. I told Aaron he should stand in line while I let Kaila roam around and play. She ran around for a while, then she wanted to see the lit up water structure near the Santa line. So, we tried standing in line for a while. She had a few meltdowns, a few snacks, played with mom and dad, and walked around a little more. When we got closer to the front of the line, we started practicing smiles and she was doing so well! She was smiling on command and started saying Santa. Things were looking good.
Finally, it was our turn. I put Kaila down on Santa's lap, and when I turned back around to see her take some pictures, she had a look of :whyyyyy would you do this to me??" on her face. Then the tears and screams started. She wasn't happy with us. I felt bad, so I got her and sat in a couple pictures with her.
not so bad..
here's the winner (even santa's closing his eyes)
sorry baby, hope you're not too traumatized!
