Well Hello, Santa!

Sunday marked my office's annual Children's Christmas Party.  They do a great job and a good time is always had by all.  Of course the kids just wanted to have fun but I had my Mommy Agenda and insisted that fun could happen AFTER the Santa picture.

I envisioned a lovely picture of my two beautiful boys sitting on Santa's knee, gazing into his eyes and telling him exactly what they were hoping he will bring them on Christmas Eve.

Instead, I had two terrified little boys who refused to come within a 4 foot radius of the man.

Not to be deterred, Santa proclaimed that both Super Husband and I should sit on his knee.  Not being one to pass up an opportunity to schmooze with the big man, I obliged.  Surprisingly...so did Super Husband.

So it came to be that the family descended upon the poor man.  Notice that Super Husband and I look thrilled while the boys do not.  In fact, Buddy is so distraught he cannot bring himself to even face the camera.  Little Man is holding himself together by a thread with the promise of a chocolate treat to follow the picture.

Oh well, there's always next year!
