Christmas 2007 - Hannah meets Santa!


Well, she didn't cry, but didn't really smile either. Hannah's first time meeting the big man himself, Santa Claus. With a look of concern, we have her first picture with Santa. And boy have times changed. Did you know you can now make an online reservation to see Santa? What happened to the hours of standing in line with sreaming kids and impatient parents to capture those few special moments on camera. And, did you also know everything is now captured on video too? All for about a $100 you can have a few pictures and a video of your "Santa Experience". Times have changed, but the experience hasn't. I have to say, at this age, the picture is for the parents, but it was special to watch the little ones in line anticipating meeting Santa with their lists in hand ready to tell him all about the toys they want this season. And no Santa line is complete without the little 4 year old boy next to you in line screaming "Mommy I want to go home, I am scared". You just aren't sure if it is inappropriate to laugh because it is actually somewhat cute. So, there she is, ready to celebrate her first Christmas.. I think mom and dad are more excited than she is. After all, her favorite gift won't be the toys, rather the box it came in. Merry Christmas Everyone! Enjoy the time with your families, and take the time to reflect on the special gifts of health, happiness and laughter that keeps us going everyday!
