Okay, this year the Santa picture is a little hard to look at. Jackson has perfected the sad face! When I look at this picture it almost brings me to tears. As we stood in line I kept asking Jackson to practice his smile for Santa. I would ask him to show me how he was going to smile and he would say cheeeese and then I would tell him that it was perfect. Well, when we got up to Santa it didn't work out as planned. He started to cry as soon as I handed him over. I then backed up to get out of the picture and tried to bribe him in to smiling by offering him one of my homemade candied pecans. (Which he LOVES!) He then stopped crying but still had the sad face so I asked them to just take the picture. (After waiting in line for 45 min I really didn't care.) I then rushed over to take him from the mean guy in the red suit and looked at the pictures on the screen. At first I thought it was cute and then it just made me sad. I hope I didn't damage him for life. Maybe he will like Santa a little better once he knows that is who brings him the toys.

Oh my gosh, I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry - well, I did laugh but then I felt bad for thinking that was funny. Still, you can't deny that he is so stinkin' adorable, it is almost not even fair. Plus, who cares if he is scared of Santa? He isn't real anyway!
Hey, I don't blame him...that Santa is creepy.
Oh my gosh. That is the saddest face I ever saw! It breaks my heart! Poor little guy.
But I've got one just like it of his daddy, so it must be a genetic discomfort level with large bearded men dressed in fur trimmed red velvet. Sort of a Santa-phobic reaction.
