I have no false pretenses about what a visit with Santa will
be like. I do not expect sugar plums and smiles. I expect tears and fear which
is why I always just bring the kids to whatever free, local Santa I can find.
Both Henry and Isabelle let me know from the beginning that
they did not want to sit with Santa which is fine with me. I still planned on
torturing Daniel with his first visit. However, when the time came, they all
ushered up to him so I just started snapping. It started off pretty decent…
Then came this....
Then this...
But finally, this...
Tears AND smiles? That’s a total win in my book!
