Santa Pictures

This year we went to the Bass Pro shop to get Santa pictures take because you get one free one there. And I like free! Plus, the whole store is decorated so festively, so there are lots of places for photo ops. I took lots of pictures in hopes of getting something to use for a Christmas card. But what I have discovered is I am a terrible photographer. I definitely need to take a class or two. Luckily I have a cute kid and we will make something work out of this bunch.

I worried Mackinley would be scared and cry with Santa. At Halloween time she started showing lots of fears about things, and it hasn't gotten any better. She was scared of Halloween decorations, the scarecrow in the yard for fall, the gnome in Grammy's garden, mommy's stuffed Santa by the fireplace, so I figured the real Santa would be just as scary. But instead she did great. We have decided she can tell a difference between a fake statue and something that is alive. Reid-o just slept the whole time.
