2005 Santa Grandpa Picture
Every year we take a "Santa" picture of Alexis with Jamison's dad for his Christmas cards. This year Alexis wouldn't cooperate and actually sit on Darrell's lap so we tried to bribe her her with shiny objects, we tried bribing her with cupcakes and ice cream, we even had Jamison sit on "Santa's" lap:
But she flat out refused...she wanted to let us know she runs the show in case we had forgotten or something. Regardless we got some cute pictures anyway.

As you can see in the pictures Jamison's dad is a very convincing Santa. The kids next door were convinced we had Santa on our deck and wanted to know why he wasn't giving them candy. I guess they've been to one too many parades. One of the boys yelled, "That's the real Santa!" One of the other kids wasn't so sure and asked him how he knew it was the real Santa and he told him definitively, "Because he's got a real beard!"
I look forward to continuing these pictures over the years and seeing how much she changes from year to year. As you can see from the link above in the first paragraph the first two pictures show just how much she's grown. It's a fun tradition.

Which one is Darryl going to use for his Christmas cards. I personally like the bottom picture the best. It looks like Santa is listening to Alexis' wish list.

I used both of them. I put the first picture on the front and then the picture of her facing him on the inside.
