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!
