Brooks' grandparents requested a picture of all their grandkids with Santa. Off to see Santa we went...we really talked it up with our little wild card, Lena Beth…"Santa is nice, he will ask you want for Christmas" blah, blah…
We arrive, things are looking ok, we go in and the Santa was nice, maybe a bit too nice, but didn't really mesh well with Lena Beth or with my son who doesn't want to be tickled or touched by a giant red stranger. If looks could have taken Santa out….Brooks would have taken him down. He was so serious, and I struggled even handing him over to sit on his lap since he wanted NOTHING to do with him…and walking in Lena Beth yells "I don't YIKE SANTA!"
Brooks starting to cry and the blue sucker bribe is still working on Lena Beth…and Riley smiling.
Lena Beth decides she can cry louder than Brooks…and no sucker is worth being happy on Santa's lap.
Riley…still smiling.
Lena Beth with one arm up!
And the finale, Brooks still crying, Riley still smiling, and Lena Beth with BOTH hands up!
Merry Christmas!

Seriously Amy…best picture ever!! Poor things, but at least you'll have a funny picture to show them down the road. Cooper just looked at Santa like "who are you?" but I guess figured he was harmless
