We had a great time visiting with Santa at our neighborhood clubhouse this morning. I love all the great events that our neighborhood puts together for the kids. Brendan was a litle shy at first but he warmed up for a quick talk about his “choo choo train” that is at the top of his list this year. Brielle made sure Santa knew about the “giant stuffy unicorn” at the top of her list.
Our old pre-school Kids R Kids in Mableton used to partner with a local photographer to offer pictures with Santa. We had done it the last couple years and liked the event and pictures. When we moved this summer, we knew we needed to find an alternative. Brielle and Brendan both take swim lessons at Atlanta Swim and we discovered that they host a holiday party that features pictures with Santa. The best part is that they allow you to use your own camera! As a photographer this was exactly what I was looking for. When we arrived they even had LED light stands setup so no flash needed!
Brendan initially got scared and did not want to go see Santa but after watching big sister Brielle go up he built up some courage and did a complete 180. We even got smiles and a handshake from him!
