PeekaBoo Santa!

On Saturday we went to our photographers house for Christmas pictures.  Last year I LOVED our pictures from this session and it was so much fun!  As soon as she announced she was having this photo shoot I knew we had to do it!  This year was a little different. . .instead of Santa coming out to see the kids and have them on his lap, he would be behind the tree "peeking" out at them.  This way she hoped more kids would be happy and smiling since Santa would not be there to scare them.  Sounds great. . .unless you have Sweet Pea! 

Sweet Pea has had pictures done in this studio since before she was born, but needs time to warm up usually.  Unfortunately this shoot did not allow enough time for her to warm up, and I think her assistant also threw Sweet Pea.  So we did our best and this is what we got!  Not bad for a mini session!  And as always lots of fun memories!

Miss Pumpkin  (she had no idea Santa was back there!)

This was the only way I was going to get both girls to have a picture with Santa!  While we were sitting, Santa knocked something down behind us, making a big noise.  Miss Sweet Pea discovered him, but Pumpkin still did not know what it was!

Yes I am a mean mom!  I couldn't resist the screaming baby picture!  I am hiding behind the trunk on the floor and my hands are still around Sweet Pea trying to calm her down.  She again saw Santa as when she arched back she could see him!  The entire time I'm laughing behind the box since the photographer and her assistant are trying so hard to get Sweet Pea to be happy and to smile! 

Merry Christmas to all our friends and family!!!
