Our First Meeting with Santa
Today we took the boys for their first meeting with Santa. It went pretty much as expected. We took the to Vintage Park near our house where Santa comes to visit for pictures every Saturday from 10-2. It was a great set up. We got their early and didn't really have to wait long at all. As soon as we walked in, Eli put the death grip on my neck and hid his head in my shoulder. I switched in hopes that Justin could entertain him and he might be less clingy with him. Yeah right! Beckett did great.. he laughed and giggled, played and just had a great time. Eli.. well, we will let the picture speak for itself!
So basically he just fell out when we put him up there. We tried again with him on the other side. No way. Then we took them outside and instantly, Eli is Mr. Happy. I got some great shots of them while we waited our turn to view our proofs.
In fact, Eli was so happy that Justin decided that he surely would be better and let's try again! He takes him inside and Eli is flirting with the elves and all the ladies.. Justin is warming him up. Oops! One look at Santa and no way buddy. No way Daddy. Get me out of here!
I think my favorite part of the picture is Santa's expression! What a comical memory this will be to share with Eli when he gets older. Christmas is so much fun!
Love, The Riley's
