A Good Santa??

I have learned many new things as a parent. One of the most important, I am sure, is that there are 'good' Santa's and 'bad' Santa's- and that if you want your child's picture taken with a 'good' Santa- you have to make an appointment in March.

I thought I had time and could sqeeze in somewhere. But no- the best Santa in town at Phipps Plaza was ALL booked and had been since October.

I think Sylvie had her picture taken with a 'good' Santa. His beard is real, at least.

I- on the other hand- was my own worst nightmare. All the photographer was doing to get Sylvie to smile was ringing a bell. Really??!!

So I took matters into my own hands and proceded to jump around and try to get her to smile. It obviously didn't work.
