Santa! I Know Him!

We took Harlow over to Grandma Lori's swim and tumble school to meet Santa for the first time. This is Daddy and Harlow waiting in line to get their picture taken.


My darn camera didn't focus right the first time, so the real first meeting (which was the cutest) came out blurry! stupid technology (better yet, stupid me, who couldn't get it right!)

I sure do love that it started to focus better just in time to get the crying shots. The picture above it a classic first meeting of Santa and Baby. Pretty funny :)
Second try, we waited a few minutes for her to calm down before we tried again in hopes of capturing a better picture. Too bad the picture came out better but no smiles or eye contact with the camera.

Whoa, who are you?

Harlow's first meeting with Santa didn't go as bad as I thought it would. She is usually a really happy, social baby. What is it about Santa that makes kids cry? Even the happiest of kids seem scared of him. Oh well, maybe next year there will be no tears. For the record, she smiled at him for about .5 seconds before the tears started. I don't think she could make up her mind on how she felt about him. Maybe by next year she will understand why its important to be on her best behavior with Santa and not cry...
