The first Christmas, six months old, rather scary Santa. What can I say, I was new to the whole gig - I subsequently learned that there are Better Santas and Creepy Santas and that having four shopping malls within driving distance and a few other Breakfast With Santa opportunities each year, I wouldn't have to settle for Bad Santa photo ops after all.

(Yes, Kiddo's outfit that year included a beret and a faux fur, bolero sweater. It was too much and yet adorable and it had been a gift from a dear, old, high school friend of mine. I couldn't resist!)
The next year, 18 months old, a different mall yielded a much better Santa -

Two and a half and quite eager to chat Santa up -

Three and a half and a particularly jolly Santa, despite the voluminous, fake beard -

Four and a half. I ran out of time that year, so had to settle for a less-than-spectacular Santa, who I think might've been hitting the eggnog a bit too enthusiastically prior to his shift...

Last year, when she was wearing glasses. A Real Beard Santa for the first time, too!

And from this year's visit, we have:
The unfurling of the list which Kiddo created in scroll format and proceeded to read to Santa in its entirety. Fortunately we went to see him in the middle of a weekday thanks to a half day of school, and there was no line so she was able to spend as much time with the Man in Red as she wanted. She even asked him what his favorite cookies are and has now informed me we have to set out ginger snaps for Santa Christmas Eve. Ginger snaps, really? Santa couldn't have said chocolate chip or perhaps Girl Scout cookies, which I have coming out my eyeballs?

I like that this shot is reminiscent of the one from when Kiddo was two and a half. This is where she was pointing out her missing two front teeth to him, as per the song.

And the official "Kiddo and Santa" shot for this year:

I'm thinking we may not have too many more years left where I'll be able to do this, but you can be darn sure I'm going to keep the tradition going as long as I possibly can!

This year my precious "one and only" decided she is too old to visit Santa. Not that she doesn't want to, deep down, but she's old enough to realize people would look at her funny. She is still sending a letter, tho. :) It's tough to grow up! You keep your little one 'little' as long as you can!
Awwwww - what great photos, Heather! LOVE LOVE LOVE the scroll list!
