santa!!! i know him!

this year we were lucky enough to be at a birthday party with the real santa!  thank you john henry for being born on christmas day!!  the boys were super excited to learn that santa was invited and that he was able to come celebrate.  thank you to renata and kc for helping us skip the mall santa this year, much appreciated.

one person who was not too excited to see the big guy was miss shelby.  she was not having it, not one bit.  we tried three times to get a picture without the look of pure terror and fear on her face.  she wouldn't even let me walk past the guy without sticking out her bottom lip.  we did finally sneak one picture with santa on one side and shelby on the other just as he was about to leave.  it was pretty funny though.  hopefully we haven't scarred her for life.

brooks was in awe with santa at the party.  he saw him pull out his iPhone to check something and said to me, "mom, santa has an iPhone???"

and then the real fun begins...

nope.

get me out of here now!

still crying

i'm ok as long as that guy doesn't look at me
