Ouren Boys vs. Santa

We had a rough year with Santa's visit this year. All 3 of my boys were not having it.

Zaden cried and tried to get away even with Daddy's help.

Zaric decided that the best policy was just to close his eyes and pretend Santa wasn't there. He wouldn't open his eyes at all.

And Caleb first hid in a bedroom. Santa had to go in after him. He was in there crying. He somehow got it in his head that he was on the naughty list this year so he wanted nothing to do with Santa. Thing is, we have no idea where he got that idea. Mike and I haven't said that to him at all. We are thinking something at school maybe? Santa finally coaxed him out of the bedroom for a couple pics, but he wouldn't smile.

By the end he was being a little better and sitting by Santa at least. But he wouldn't go back up there for a good picture for his mommy.

So sorry, no good Santa pics this year. Momma is frustrated and disappointed. Someday I'll probably look back at this year and laugh. But I'm not there yet.

At least we are almost guaranteed a better reaction to Santa's real visit in less than 2 weeks.

P.S. More pics from Grandma's party coming up, stay tuned.
