Obligatory scary Santa photo


Last night was the big Christmas party for Parent & Child, a great play center where I take Richie twice a week. It was held at a lovely garden nearby that has an amazing elevated miniature railway running through it that the kids (& their parents) can ride on. But the biggest line was to sit on Santa's lap so after 20 minutes of tag-team place holding while one of us ran around with Richie we finally got to the head of the line. Richie smiled at Santa and gave him a high five, but then as if on cue as soon as I put him on Santa's lap, he let out a blood-curdling scream and wriggled right outta there! Cross one more holiday cliche off the list. I'm sure this one will be a classic.

Nice! What is it about big men in red velvet pajamas??
At least yours can go in Christmas cards...Mookie's eyes are soooo devil-red-eyed that I don't want to use it! :-( We might have to brave the big scary guy again just to get a better petrified photo!
