SANTA BABY

I have wanted to get this Santa photo since he was born. Ok, confessedly, since BEFORE he was born but that story is for another post. This was really the first year that it has been a possiblity as I doubt you could ask Santa to hold an infant. Besides, I didn't have a festive enough sling for Jolly Old St. Nick to wear. 'Nuff said.
After several failed attempts at the mall (have you SEEN those lines?) , Ray's mom and I went this morning. The line was long so we came back several hours later. Lo and behold, Santa was unoccupied (startling, all things considered) so we snuck the little guy in and sat him on Santa's lap. In exactly one shot we got this picture. Good thing too, because Olin was off and running before a second shot could be snapped. Thanks to all who made this possible.
