How cute is THIS?! We always do a family portrait at Christmas time. It's always interesting to see how much Madison changes from year to year. We had an appointment today at 10:45 at Sears (they've done her pictures since she was two months old...she even has several pictures in their display book and a 9 picture study (collage) on the wall in the studio). However, that was probably expecting a bit much, as she also had dance class at 9am. So once we got the whole wardrobe for pics figured out, which was a challenge at 6 1/2 months preggo...nothing fits all of a sudden...then we went to her dance class and I told Miss Elizabeth, her dance teacher, that I was going to pull her out a few minutes early because I didn't want her to have a stamp (or see other kids getting stamps) since we were going for pics right after class. Of course, as soon as I got her in the car, she says, "What about my stamp?". That's her new favorite phrase: "What about...". So I told her we'll get it later and she was okay with that. Crisis averted!We got to Sears a little after 10, so it was too early to check in for her appointment. I knew they were double booked, so I wanted to get there by 10:30. It worked out, so we had some extra time and we walked just outside Sears in the mall to visit Santa. I was a little worried she might be afraid of him. She loves to talk to anyone, but sitting in his lap all alone, I wasn't too sure she'd do it. But she did FABULOUSLY! She sat there, talked to him, they read a book and she even smiled when they asked her to...or atleast she tried. Of course, it was more of an "I'm-not-too-sure-about-this" kind of smile, but she at least tried and wasn't crying! They took another pic of her and Santa both looking down, reading the book and it looked so sweet!
