Skylar 6mo 1st Christmas

Our first attempt to visit santa this year was unsuccessful due to mass crowds and a 4 hour wait just to get in line to then wait another 30/40 min. to see Santa. I wasn't about to do that to my child so we planned for a weekday visit.
My sis-in-law Neely and I planned a Santa date last tuesday at Bass Pro. They have the best Santa. We were relieved to walk in and find NO line!! I got Skylar prepped and ready, headed over to see him. Skylar kept saying,"Ho,ho,ho." I thought this will be great!
I sat her on his knee. She looked at him.....then looked at me.....then realized I don't know this crazy, bearded guy.

I quickly picked her up after the photo was taken. She immediately stopped crying and we got a candy cane for a treat. Next was Bryan's turn. He had the same feelings towards Santa this year too. Seeing that she was completely contint now that she had a candy cane and was waiving to Santa, I selfishly thought maybe if we were to try again with the candy cane she would be distracted and not cry.
Who was I kidding......

Bad mommy!
I'm guessing we will have no trouble when it comes time to discuss Stranger Danger.....just sayin.
