wordless{ish} wednesday: santa pictures.

alright, no more mrs. hum-bug around here, people.  i wasn't kidding when i vowed to get my christmas spirit in high gear & i've already crossed a few things off the bucket list.  we've watched a few christmas classics, we've done quite a bit more christmas shopping {parker is done!  well, until i see something else he just has to have}, we delivered home-made cinnamon rolls to our neighbors & yesterday morning i took parker to get his picture with santa!

there's really not much else you can say about our santa photo experience except santa had a yellow beard & smelled like smoke.  but hey, you won't be able to smell it looking at the pictures in ten years, right?  so no big.

and i usually don't love to post unflattering pictures of my child on the interwebz... but, screaming-child-on-santa's-lap-pictures are the exception.

here ya go.

they both look a little unsure, yes?  maybe one more than the other.  i decided to jump in & see if we could get one that didn't look entirely like parker was having the worst experience of his life.

if parker wasn't looking a little disheveled & the hair wasn't sticking to his sweaty face you'd never know he was screaming for his life moments earlier.

he'll thank me some day.  or... he'll require years of therapy.  we're just gonna have to wait & see how this one plays out.

merry christmas!
