Picture with Santa

Last week (or the week before that...I am not sure...they are all running together), Carter's daycare had a "breakfast with Santa" event. They have different things for the parents and kids to eat, plus everyone gets their picture made with big guy! I was very nervous about Carter getting his picture made with Santa. As many of you know, Carter is not always the social butterfly...and is particularly scared of hairy men at times:). He did suprisingly well though. I tried to not call attention to Santa at all when we were in line. When it was our turn, I sat him in Santa's lap and tried to keep his eyes on me by making funny faces and talking to him. We were doing okay until Santa started talking to Carter. He looked at Santa, felt of his beard, then looked at me with that panicked look as if saying "get me outta here!" The professional photographer got some great shots before Carter even realized that he was in Santa's lap, so it turned out okay. Here are some pictures that my friend Krista took...they were in line right behind us. You can see the moment Carter realizes that someone is holding him. Glad she captured that!
