Sitting wtih Santa

This is the first year we even tried to get all three kiddos picture taken with Santa. Last year Abigail had NO interest in Santa and so we didn't even bother. This year as we're getting in the car she tells me she's NOT sitting with Santa and that she doesn't care whether or not she gets any gifts or not but she's not sitting with him and then asks "is that ok mommy?" to which I reply, "we'll see..." So when we arrive at the mall and meet Guy she proceeds to tell him the same thing. He however took a different approach and decides to bribe her with Auntie Anne's Pretzels so she'll sit with Santa, sometimes I wonder, but it worked. When we arrived at Santa all three kids were wide eyed, when it was Abigail's turn to sit on Santa's lap she was very unsure but went up and talked to Santa and told him what she wanted while we sat next to him with the boys. When asked by Santa what she wanted she told him "a pillow, playdoh and FOOD" she wouldn't say anymore about what kind of food she wanted just food. Finally later in the day when asked again she said she wanted "bread, cheese and pickles" what child, who wants not for food, seriously asks Santa for food, is she THAT hungry?!?! Anyway we then handed the boys over to Santa and Abigail slid over for the picture. Abigail did great and was a great big sister, Ryan could have cared less, and then there was Justin, who to no one's surprise was NOT a fan of Santa. Needless to say we got a pretty decent picture and the memories were priceless!!
