We decided to have Evie's obligatory Santa pictures taken Saturday. Santa was supposed to be at the mall at 10, so we figured we would try to beat the crowds, and we met up with Mimi and Bennett at the mall at 10:15. When we arrived, we were disappointed to see there was already a pretty long line. Turns out there was a "mix-up," and Santa didn't show up until 10:45. Despite our frustration, we decided to wait. I was afraid Evie would get bored if we had to wait too long, but we managed to keep her entertained. She enjoyed strolling through the mall, reading books, and well, chewing on a pack of kleenex after she got bored with all her toys. Desperate times call for desperate measures. :)
Luckily, the line moved really fast once Santa finally got there. Before we knew it, it was our turn. Evie was fine as we approached Santa's chair. She even waved at him and the huge Christmas tree behind him (she really loves Christmas trees).
For a minute, I thought she might actually be okay. She didn't cry immediately when I put her in his lap. But then I had to step away, and I think she got a little nervous.
And then maybe a little mad...
But I actually think the final product is pretty cute, even if she is upset:
She recovered quickly and gladly posed for some adorable pictures with her Daddy and cousin.
All things considered, we all had fun, even Evie. Hopefully Santa wasn't too offended and won't hold it against her on Christmas morning... Even if he does, I'm pretty sure Gram and Nana will make up for it!! :)
