After the Meltdown...

Here is the best tear-free picture Rod got of Addie with Santa.

All calm now that we are finished with our visit to see Santa

Our Trip To See Santa!

We headed to the mall on Tuesday to take Addie to see Santa. While I had heard a few other moms say that I should be dressed so that I could be in the picture if I needed to be, I did not take the advice. Addie has definitely developed some separation anxiety these past few months, but I can't think of a time when she has cried when someone else has held her. Of course, things didn't quite work out like I had planned as you can see from the pictures below.

Waiting in line to see Santa...happy Addie.

Then....the meltdown happened....major meltdown!

Poor Addie was so upset she wouldn't even look up at the camera.


I think this was a nervous laugh here...I wasn't quite sure what to do.

Still crying!

I had no idea Addie would get this upset, and this was such a sweet Santa. He was very patient with us and offered several suggestions to try and get a picture. I know one thing....next year I won't wear pink when we go see Santa!

What Does Santa Say?

Pictures from Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving! We had good time with family, and thanks to Mimi for all of the good food. Here are a few pictures from the day.

It sure is tough to get Addie to look at the camera long enough to get a picture these days.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I can't believe Christmas is just around the corner- only 20 more days!
