Santa 2009

Mac McGoon invites Santa to make a special trip down from the North Pole early in November to take pictures at their studio. We decided to take advantage of this trip and schedule some time with Santa to take a special picture with Mason and Cooper.

Mason talked big all week about telling Santa what toys/games he wanted for Christmas, but when we arrived at the studio for the picture, the panic started. Luckily the studio had had a number of years of practice and asked before it was our turn whether anyone was afraid. We opted for the "scared child" option where Santa would just peak at the boys from behind the chair rather than the boys sitting on his help. Thank you Mac McGoon. Unfortunately, the only picture that turned out well was the one before Santa came out. Thankfully, the photographer offered to Photoshop Santa into the picture, so we still have a photo memory, even though the images weren't necessarily in sync.


After the pictures were complete, we made the mistake of trying to have Mason talk to Santa, which resulted in a screaming child. It may have been too close to the Halloween incident to tackle Santa...oops.

Regardless, we walked away with a great pictures of the boys.
