Santa

4 years ago we took our very first Santa picture. London was about 4 months old, maybe not even 4 months. She was such a good baby, we waited in line and she was a champ. The picture was decent, Santa didn't look very happy. Maybe he was tired.  

Picture with Santa isn't an annual thing for us, so we didn't do it years afterward. Fast forward to 2015: baby Langston is here and our family is back at the line at the mall to get the picture with Santa. 

Before going, London was already the girl with a plan. She told me she would ask Santa for a computer. I'm not sure why she insisted on a computer. She probably just wants to be like her daddy. 

We stopped by target first. Deonn needed to buy something. 

We were in line for a long time. According to Deonn: we were there for 3 hours. In reality, we were there for an hour and half. But it did seem like a lifetime.

There were some distractions to entertain us while we waited.

He wasn't feeling it

It was almost impossible to get a decent picture. The baby was moving constantly.

But he was calm once daddy held him.

It took an hour to move to this spot. We were almost there. About to enter the ice castle.

Langston was on the floor for 1 second and he started to eat the glitters off the floor.

London said "mommy I'm tired of waiting for Santa"

He didn't like the taste  of glitters

Mommy had to rescue the baby

We got a family picture.

London made it inside the castle. Look at all the fake snow

Fake snow was falling and falling...

I think they loved the snow

After the castle we waited another 10 minutes. Langston fell asleep. 

Okay now it was time to meet Santa.

We tried to wake Langston up but he was comfortable on Santa's  lap

So this was official Santa picture we purchased. If we do it Again next year, maybe Langston will be awake. We just need to time it right.
