We didn't take our kids to sit on Santa Claus' lap this year. Bella informed us, well in advance, that she wanted no part of it...no way, no how. We thought about taking them anyway. But seeing that Rowan usually looks to Bella for her reaction in any given situation, we knew that we would have both kids in complete hysterical mayhem instead of just one.

Here are two of my favorite Santa pics.

This first one was when Bella was 6 mos. old. She was always a very serious baby, and the photo lady was trying and trying to get her to smile. I was thinking, just take the picture already. But right at the last Bella giggled.



















This one was when Bella was 18 mos...She was with my co-worker's daughter, Hannah. She's so freaked out! But it's so cute!
