IT'S EPIC SANTA TIME AGAIN

Poor, poor Santa. That's all I have to say.

At least it wasn't my kids freaking out this year! (Just our friend's kids. Haha.) We've come a long way. PS - If you didn't take a look at poor Santa's face in that last photo, please look back at it. Poor man. And we were the first people of the day. It was looking like a long day for him.

The two girls really surprised me with a fantastic photo (Christmas miracle anyone?!).

I had a feeling that Elyse wouldn't cry (since she never does, thus the well-deserved title of "Easiest Baby Ever") but I was surprised beyond all get up that Lauren didn't cry. And she smiled for a picture! Unheard of lately. I think it might have been because Santa complimented her on her dress. He knows the way to my little girl's heart.

So this year, Santa is a friend, not a foe.

But maybe not so much for our friends' kids....

Poor, poor Santa.
