Both knees

Santa's lap was full this year for our annual photo. Abby's tactile reflex kicked into high gear again this year, and she was far too interested in the fur on Santa's suit to smile for the picture. Caleb panicked the moment I sat him on that red velvet knee, and spent his few minutes on Santa's lap with his eyes darting back and forth between his parents and Santa's (apparently terrifying) beard. They managed to catch him in mid-pout, which was better than I had hoped for.

Forty-five minutes in line, $32 and about two minutes with Old St. Nick, and this is what we have to show for the experience. Gotta love the holidays...at what other time of year would you pay that much for a mediocre photo of your kids sitting on a stranger's lap?
