I waited to take Marley to see Santa until we got to Williamsburg because Helen, from Helen's Place, our wedding photographer and baby contest holder, was the one taking the pictures at Yankee Candle this year. On Tuesday we packed up Marley and went to go see Santa, unfortunately when we got there Helen whispered to me that it was the "sub-Santa" and we could tell. It's kinda hard to smile with that beard I'd say. Anyhow, after they took her pics Helen told us we really should come back for the Real Santa because he was so much better and when Brett called me that afternoon wanting to know if we had already gone to see Santa because he wanted to take her, it sealed the deal, so we decided we'd go back on Christmas Eve to see the real Santa. What do you think?
The Sub-Santa
The Real Santa
I don't really think there's much question about who was the better Santa.
Regardless, I was proud of my girl! She didn't cry either time, she identified him as soon as she saw him both times and just walked right up and let him put her on his lap. It was great, we did have to do a little bit of bribing with mellows though to try and get some good smiles (which didn't really happen the second time, maybe she had a headache from when got that bruise smacking her head on the bed rail).
I still think Santa took his best pictures last year...I'll scan those and post at another time.
