So, Cheryl at Twinfatuation titled her Way Back When-esday: "The Scared of Santa Edition" and in keeping with that theme, I thought this would be a good picture to join in on the way back fun!
This was Jack and Quent on Santa's lap at the mall Christmas of '07, they were 18 months old. (we did not even attempt a Santa shot their first christmas) As you can see, Jack is focused on entirely somewhere else - watching the elevator, and Quent is so on the verge of tears. This was taken literally seconds before he took a leap to get back to Momma (I was just outside the frame on his side) The girl taking the picture had taken maybe 2-3 shots and wanted to do more, but we figured this one was probably the best we were going to get and I just could not torture poor Quentin any longer. So, we paid our $arm+leg photo fee and called it good enough. I am taking the boys to get their photo taken with Santa at a local studio next week, and thankfully they have a 'Santa out the window' option if Jack and Quent do not want to see Santa. Maybe we will even get some smiles this year!

not too bad of a photo though! You should see our Santa pics from last year! I didn't post them today but will surely over the next week or so! Jacob was terrified both visits and Sarah was once, too. Oh what we mean parents put our kiddos through for a photo opp!
You can really not tell from the ophoto that they were scared. Great shot!
Pretty amazing, if you ask me! What brave little troopers!
Thank you so much for playing along with our special edition of "Way Back When-esday!" Hope you'll play again!
Awww! They look so sweet, I don't think they look too scared, I have a funny one of Brenna from last year and we went today and she wasn't having anything to do with him. Maybe she will like him better at our MOM party.
