I was interested to see how Makayla would react to Santa Claus, this being her first experience with him, so when our ward said that they were having a Christmas party and Santa would be there I was very excited.
Saturday morning we went and enjoyed a breakfast with the ward and waited patiently for Santa to arrive. We took Makayla up to see him, and what happened can best be described by the pictures that follow.
Here we are waiting in line to see Santa. Happy little girl with her daddy wouldn't you say.
Here she is sitting on his lap. The minute we set her down this is what happened. It is weird because she is usually so good about going to people she isn't familiar with. Notice Caleb's smile in the picture. Even though it was sad to see her cry we couldn't help but laugh about the whole thing. These will be priceless pictures when she grows up! It won't be too long before she LOVES Santa!
Here she is with her candy cane. At least something good came out of it, right?
That lasted only a few minutes, until she tried to bite through the plastic and we had to take it away from her. Then the crying started all over again! We are such mean parents!
We at least wanted one good picture with Santa so we went back and this time I held Makayla and we had a family picture with him. I can't wait until next year, maybe by then she will like Santa!

Mardi hated Santa at that age and even a couple of years after. Keddi was not even one when i put her on his lap with her back to him and got a good picture before she turned around to see who had her. She didn't cry but reached out to me so fast to get away from him!!!
Haha, I remember you guys telling me about this. It seems most kids don't like Santa. That'll be a great memory for years to come.
We're looking forward to getting together with you guys next Monday!
