Traditional Torture Time! (aka Santa is here!)

First, just proof that I *tried* to put this cute bow on Keeley's head!

Luken was SO great with Santa this year! When was asked what he wants for Christmas, he immediately replied, "An octopus!" (Yes, he does want one - not a real one, though! And don't get any ideas, anyone - we've got it covered! ;) )

Then, let the torture begin! Keeley was NOT so great with Santa. The nanosecond I put her on his lap, she started screaming, so we took a few pictures as quickly as posssible, and then rescued the poor girl!

Luken's hair is all funked out because a) he fell asleep in the car on the way to the mall, and mussed his freshly perfect 'do up and b) Santa has a fan blowing on him to keep him moderately cool, and it blew some hair up and to the side. Oh, well... Keeley's is all funked out because that bow disappeared almost immediately upon sitting on Santa's lap. She was MAAAAAD!











The official picture!


Safely in Daddy's arms!


Discovering somethingn wondrous, and being totally beautiful while at it! :D



And, just for fun - last year's picture! Ha - Luken is wearing the same shirt, and Keeley is again in animal print and black! Hmm... I guess I need to be more creative next year! :P

Wow! What a difference a year makes! Keeley looks so young in that picture from last year, she has changed so much! They both look adorable, tears, flipped up hair and all! That's what a visit to Santa is all about!

I love the official pic. Even with all the drama- it turned out cute!

These are fabulous.
I always love the ones where the kids are so upset. She will love looking back on those one day.
