A visit to Santa and the Firetruck

So, this past weekend we decided to once again participate in a family tradition and go to the Heritage Texas Realty office to see Santa and play on the vintage Fire Truck.    I was expecting a horrible trip seeing how Jill is in the opening act of the Terrible Twos.  Not only will she not smile for the camera anymore, she refuses to look at it.  That combined with her usual fear of masculine strangers left me with little hope for success.

Shockingly, she did very well.  She still refused to smile or look at the camera, but she warmed up to Santa.  She introduced herself and her brothers.  Then re-introduced herself about 5 more times.  I can't wait to get the professional photo back.  I had to take mine from the side, so this is the best I have for now.

They are all looking at the camera and no one is screaming!!!!  VICTORY!  Oh, and Josh, get comfy okay?

Jill chats up the Big Guy after the shoot.

Almost a great pic.  Oh and minus the power pole!  ha ha.

Who says you can't climb in a dress?  Certainly not Jill.  This is on its way to the cleaners now.
