Josie has been seeing Santa at the mall for a good month now and every time we roll by she waves like a mad woman and yells Hi Man to him. I felt like this was a sign of positivity for the future. Right. She is the younger sister of Olivia, who insists every year that we leave a note to Santa on her bedroom door stating that he is not allowed in and all presents should be left in the living room(how she stays on the 'nice' list, Ill never know). This also applies to the Easter Bunny. In fact the only mythical creature allowed in is the Tooth Fairy and only because she leaves money. Anyway, I have this great red tutu and shirt proclaiming Josie's position of power with Santa all I need is a picture of the two of them together. Easier said than done. Right after nap and snack time on Saturday we clean the kid up and head to the mall. Only two kids in front of us--another good sign, right? She is steadily telling him hi....until her Daddy abandons her in Santa's lap. The scream was deafening and while I thought a screaming baby pic would have been a little bit funny, Kevin didn't agree. So, here we are with Santa. If you look close you can see leftover tears in Josie's eyes. Maybe next year..

well don't let your hubby see the pics I have of Roo with Santa, I am so that abusive mom that just lets her kid keep screaming in terror while I take pictures! lol! I love Josie's outfit!! And I cracked up about Liv's notes to the magic crew - she is one smart cookie! I mean c'mon we teach our kids about stranger danger then tell them some creepy old man is gonna sneak into our house while we're sleeping?! lol!
