Santa Babies!

[pixiechar]

Are you taking your LO(s) to meet Santa? Share your photos of the kiddos with Santa Claus! 

[penguin129]

Yes. On the 10th. Our little town has Holiday in the Park that day.

We are, we do this high-end mall Santa here where you have to reserve an appointment in like....September. I am aware this is a bit insane, but this Santa is legit and amazing and it is worth it to not have to stand in line with small kiddos. Our time slot is on December 19th so it will be a while before I have pics.

My work has their kids Christmas party next Sunday and always have a Santa and a photographer so I just stick with that Santa visit since it's free and no huge lines!

[vavavictoria]

We will be doing them. Probably at the mall bc I can pay ahead and make an apt and not have to wait in line. The children's museum is doing them with milk and cookies but the stress of getting both kids ready and hoping both will be in decent moods is too much for me to pay for that one. It's also at the same time as my hair apt and I'm afraid to reschedule bc my hairdresser always books up this time of year and I really need my highlights touched up.

On the 10th.

Santa and his reindeer visit our daycare every year. They also have cookies/desserts and crafts for the kids to do. It's only open to families who have kids in the center, so it's not bad as far as lines go, especially since there's other things to do. Seems like there's always a good flow of traffic.

DD is 4 and terrified of Santa so big no for her.

The mall will do a picture were Santa hides the kid sits on the couch and he pops up behind with his finger over his mouth like shh its a secret. Totally adorable. We did it last year got a great picture and then she saw him and became hysterical. I think I scarred her for life.

I am debating taking the baby alone just because we have one of DD as a baby.

I am going to a mom's group event next weekend with a Santa, so I'll at least have that. May try and see a local Santa this week at a tree lighting if weather is okay and I'm feeling brave to venture out solo to a big event.

[adouces06]

Tomorrow! The regional furniture store chain has a huge Christmas display at one of their stores with pictures with Santa, so we are going to check it out.

[sanibel21]

I'm pretty sure we're doing it at some point. My mom likes to come, and get pictures for her house. DD1 has already advised us that she will be sitting next to Santa, not on his lap. DD2 can sit on his lap, she says.

[smallpotato]

We took the boys last weekend to a church fair where our neighbors were Santa and Mrs. Claus. Next weekend is our town's Christmas celebration with the tree lighting, so we may go to that and see Santa there.

[becole]

We asked if he wanted to go and he said no. So I won't force it. We'll see him and he can decide if he wants to go up.

Presents here as well. And always good ones from Indigo!

[adouces06]

Welp, that didn't go well...

[pixiechar]

We did photos with a photographer. I hooked her up with Santa (I used to work with him at my old job) so she offered us a spot in her mini sessions.

     

[vavavictoria]

adouces06 this is how mine went last year. V kicked so hard while screaming in terror that her shoe flew across the room. Lol. I am a bad mom bc I laughed pretty hard. Poor kid.

[macaronmama]

Love all these Santa pics! DS wasn't too thrilled. He wanted to look elsewhere and Santa was trying to get him to look at the camera.

*snip*

[erien22846]

adouces06 haha, that picture perfectly captures the moment.

[erien22846]

pixiechar Adorable! What great keepsakes.

[jwinct]

We saw Santa last night. DS was half asleep. I was just glad he didn't start crying when I took him out of his seat because he had just fallen asleep.

[hikingmama222]

Saw Santa this morning.

[vavavictoria]

Santa went so much better than expected. V was scared but held it together like a champ

[ksyknelvr73]

We went this afternoon - it was successful!

[wahooMOM13]

We went this weekend but it was outside and freezing.

[eponine1007]

Our "Santa" was at a holiday party. Kinda low rent, but we didn't want to wait in lines at the mall.

[dke2010]

Someone asked DD1 what she wanted from Santa this year and she responded that she hadn't even seen Santa yet to tell him. I didn't want to "deprive" my child, so we finally went to see him at the mall.
