These pictures crack me right the heck up. Seriously. JK sent them to me this morning in a funny email and I laughed out loud. So I was glad that no one was really at work today because I was just about in tears.
The thing is I THINK I got this email last year too. I remember thinking it was funny, but I think now this year I get it a little more and laughed a little harder. Here's why:
Now, we could have gone the route of funny screaming toddler like the above hilarious photos. But frankly, we were having pity on Santa. Anna clung to me like that mom in the picture above...stuck to my hip saying ,"nononononono" while at the Moody Gardens Festival of Lights last weekend with TJ & LB & families. No amount of talking her into Santa's lap was going to work, and a line was beginning to form behind us while the other families who paid $10 were waiting to put their screaming toddlers on Santa's lap for a photo op. Since we didn't think Santa got paid enough for this kind of crap, and I wasn't sure what resistant-toddler-Santa-line-forming ettiquite is, (how long are you allowed to take to coax your toddler to sit on the fat guy's lap before people start asking you to move along?) we opted for the quick and painless route of family photo with Santa. Alhough the woman who took the picture almost seemed hesitant, like: "Really? OK...if that's what you want."
Is it so weird? I admit it's not nearly as hilarious as the above photos.

Isn't it strange how we try to force our kids to sit in a strange man's lap while also teaching them to not talk to strangers?! It's no wonder they look at us like we're idiots:) Or is that just my kids?! Anyway, I LOVE the screaming photos - that's REAL!
