Pictures with the Boogey Man....I mean Santa.

Or at least that is what you would have thought when you heard Madelynn screaming and kicking. She was terrified of Santa. I was very prepared for this, as she does not like strangers. So why would a strange man in a red suit be any different? She screamed, kicked, flailed, and cried. Santa had to duck several times to not get hit, and when told by the photographer to hold Madelynn's hand down (so she wouldn't put it in her mouth) he told the photographer that he was too busy trying to hold her down. HA! All of the pictures had Madelynn screaming and flailing except this one, this must have been one of my crazy mom attempts to make her smile...or even just to stop crying. I sang songs, acted like a crazy person, and tickled to get her to stop and smile (all in the middle of the mall). So here it is...the best one. Not too bad I suppose for the terrible experience that it was. Oh well, maybe next year.
