The failed Santa experiment

The employees at Jason's company were invited to an afternoon holiday party in an airplane hangar yesterday, as Santa was scheduled to fly into Palomar airport at 12:30 to find out what the kids wanted for Christmas.

We thought this would be a great opportunity to get some cute photos of Isabelle sitting on Santa's lap. We figured she'd try to rip off his beard or pry the bells out of his hand. Instead she started WAILING in terror the minute we handed her to Santa (which would have made a funny picture had my camera been turned on).

She calmed down after I took her out of Santa's arms, but she wouldn't even look in his direction after that.

Oh, poor thing. The look on her face is priceless - she is not looking at Santa, no matter what!

We have 2 years of missing Santa pictures. Avery was great at 3 months, then the next 2 years were big fat "no go's". This year was successful, but I'm sure that the next two will only have Avery.

Now Remeber......she already knows that what Santa does not bring her Grandma will......she knew she was free to voice her opinion of that scary looking strange person.
