“Come on, Baby Blogworthy, let’s go see Santa.”
“Yeah, let’s hand you over to a big fat man in a red track suit so you can beg for toys.”
When we put it that way, Santa sounds uber creepy.
Here we are, the Blogworthies, quickly approaching the second Christmas with a baby in our home. This time last year, the thought of putting on something non-milk stained and braving the cold (50 degrees, natch) to subject my weeks old child to all the nasties that are lurking on a Santa suit was not something I could handle.
This year — totally game.
Second Christmas, first Santa trip.
(Guess who finally got Instagram and has two thumbs that are twisted into claw-like shapes because she can’t put down her iPhone? THIS GIRL!)
Luckily, the local mall had a very sweet and mild-mannered Santa rather than a creepy one. Baby Blogworthy smiled at him at first but the second Hubby and I walked away so the two of them could get their picture taken, stranger danger kicked in. He didn’t cry, but he certainly wasn’t comfortable.
It would be a mall Santa trip without a little awkwardness, right?
(I feel like Megan would really enjoy the above photo.)
The best things in life are free — like smiles and hand holding and surprise gifts.
Other things you have to pay for.

Aw! You got some great pictures! Even if he is a little unsure of the big man in red!

Love the first photo of him with Santa – so cute!
This is the first year, in 7, that one of my kids have requested to visit Santa. And it was my youngest. My 7yo sat on Santa’s knee once, when she was 6 months and not once since. She will take a candy cane if there’s an elf handing them out as we walk by.

We haven’t taken the girls to see Santa yet. Hopefully this weekend, since last weekend was BIRTHDAY, and since the Santa in our town is on a very strict 4-6 schedule, we’re hoping to find one close to Ryan’s parents house that the girls can scream at.
I love these pics of Luke. What a little sweetheart. That is a seriously awesome Santa.

Love! I still need to get my kids somewhere to sit on Santa’s lap. Even Jake wants to do it this year. Last year he wanted nothing to do with it.

Instagram is like a total lifesaver. Makes me feel completely on top of things.
Now, please send Luke here.

Makes me feel like a mother trucking photographer, is what it makes me feel like. So glad I spent money on that DSLR when I could have bought an iPhone and took the same quality shots. Mercy.
So cute! LOVE the sneakers!

Thank you! I’m totally shocked he didn’t tear them off. He isn’t walking yet so he doesn’t really *need* shoes, but they are darn cute!
Twitter: AwesomeHutch
That’s going to be one of those pictures that’s shown for many, many years to come.

EXACTLY!

That sign is super awkward. Luke is super adorable!

I love Instagram like no other app…. I don’t know what I’d do without it. Guess find another way to stalk people I suppose.
I wish my son would have sat with Santa alone… he had a death grip on me the entire time!

I want to pick that baby up and just kiss his big bald head. SOOOOOO cute.

So cute! I think we’re skipping mall Santa this year. Our photos always come out terrible, and I totally regret paying $25 for them! But baby Blogworthy is the perfect Santa model.

“Let’s hand you over to a big fat man in a red track suit so you can beg for toys.”
Even creepier when you factor in that said fat man is then supposed to break into your house in the middle of the night to leave you gifts.
But I love Santa, so I choose not to think about the pedophilia-esque air surrounding him.
Baby Blogworthy looks like he’s not sure whether to laugh or cry so instead he’s just doing one of those, “I’m not sure what these people want from me,” grimaces. And it’s totally adorable.

What a doll!!
Great picture.

He looks a little concerned but he kept it together. Too cute!!
Thank you for linking up.
Happy holidays!

That is just too cute. Your BOY is just too cute! It’s a good thing you braved the “cold” to do it this year…by next year, he may not do it again.
Greta @gfunkified recently posted..Crap! Where’s Baby Jesus?
This made me laugh! I have always found the idea of mall Santas odd. My youngest has never been able to overcome his creep factor to sit on some strange guys lap – oh well…He stood next to him for pics- and still got the free stuff – win win
He’s such a great sport! I think my little girl would have tried to yank his beard out before making a run for it! That’s a really good shot of him with Santa although he does look a tad worried
Thanks for linking up with Picnesday Amanda!

Perfect Santa.
Perfect baby.
Perfect memory.
Even the awkwardness.
No, especially the awkwardness.
And also the “free”.
Oh yeah.
julie gardner recently posted..Today call me pantsed. Again.
Yeah, he looks a little nervous with Santa, but at least he didn’t all out cry like some little girl I know…

What a great photo! I always wondered why Santa’s nose is so red. Glad yours was not creepy at all!

We haven’t gone to see Santa this year – and I’m not sure if we’re going to! I let my brother-in-law take my girls last year when I was in the hospital having a baby. And my girls don’t believe in Santa this year. But we may go anyway!
Baby Blogworthy looks very cute even though he doesn’t look thrilled to be on Santa’s lap

Man I hope santa brings me a smart phone…yea I’m still living in 1990 with a flip one.
He is so adorable. Really.
Kimberly recently posted..Secret Mommy-hood Confession Saturday
Thank you so much! I’m pretty smitten
Girl, I’m going to ask Santa for a smart phone for you. Or you could do like my boss at work did and “break” his flip phone so he could get a new one 
That is a really cute picture!
We did see Santa this year but I refused to shell out $15 for a photo. So the kids just told him what they wanted and then bid him goodbye.
