"You better watch out, you better not cry!!"

Well, technology has failed me. I was going to scan in a picture of Parkers very first Santa visit... instead I'll try to give it to you in the literary sense. We went to this childrens boutique here in Knoxville called Crenshaws, they had Santa and Mrs. Claws with beatiful decorations and they gave you a picture for FREE. So we waited in a very lengthy line...a 3 year old and a 10 month old, and finally made it!!!! And as soon as sweet Mrs. Claws reached for Parker, the wailing began. Poor T didn't know what to do so he just sat there looking shell shocked. Looking back now it's a funny picture to have, not so much at the time!
So needless to say I still get nervous when we make these trips. I was pleasently suprised this time though. They had perfectly prepared what they would say to him and even rehearsed the grins. It was actually pretty painless!

Waiting, waiting, waiting......

Yipee, we're almost there!!!!

Finally!

Little Park was precious. She climbed right up there and told that old Santa exactly what she wanted. Some pixos! Done. Then she got down but had to run back over and whisper...."please." So sweet!

Then super cool T hops up and tells him to really listen b/c this is very important. He wants money. All the differents types of coins and bills. And a real cash register to keep it in. Wish I could say done for that one too. We'll do what we can. Good ole' Papa helped us out with the Ulysses S. Grant. ($50)

And here it is folks.......

Both kids smiling and looking in the right direction. No fingers in noses or panties showing, just a nice little picture. AAhhhhhhhh.

I'm going to collect all my pics of her like this and make a collage. She passed out on the way home. To much anticipation!
