Brooklyn and Santa

Brooklyn went this year to meet Santa Clause!!! We tried to take her to the mall the week of Christmas while her daddy was off to get her picture taken with him. That was a HUGE mistake though. The line to meet Santa was about 2 hours long. So then, one of daddy's friends told us that Santa was also at Bass Pro Shops, so that is where we went to visit.

It was extremely crazy trying to get Brooklyn ready for her picture. I had to get her changed into her Christmas dress once we got there, which is really hard to do in a public bathroom on a changing table about a foot wide, while trying to be extremely cautious of germs! However, momma was able to do it! Brooklyn's first Christmas dress was way too big for her, but it was all we had, so we made it work and it turned out great!

The Santa at Bass Pro was awesome and the whole back ground and set up was really nice too. There wasn't a line at all to see this Santa. We walked right up to him and handed Brooklyn over, which was an awkward transition because she was still so tiny since she was only three weeks old at the time. Santa had no idea how to hold her because she kept curling up into a little ball! Needless to say, the pictures turned out great! I was so proud of Brooklyn because her first picture with Santa wasn't one of her screaming her head off, terrified to death of the "scary man in the red suit." She was perfectly content and looked so precious. She was the perfect little present. Now I just hope that next year's picture with Santa will be as easy as the first!!
