Photo-Op With Santa


Through a friend of ours, we were told that of all places, Bass Pro Shops had a pretty cool Santa workshop setup.  "You got to be kidding me", I thought.  "How red can this be!?".  "Is Santa chilling in a rocker on his make believe front porch with a 12 gauge waiting for Rudolph to get back from a smoke break 'cause he stole the last pouch of Santa's Red Man?"  

You know where I'm going.  Bottom-line, you don't expect a whole lot.

To be honest, it was pretty cool.  They had train sets running, games set up for kids, huge X-mas trees... the whole bit.  We got in line and waited for Ethan's first picture with Santa.  Right before it was our turn, Christina leaned over and told me not to act like an ass in the picture.  That's all I had to hear.

A couple of things to note in this picture.  Christina, the anal mom, looks pristine and happy because it's her baby's first Christmas picture with the jolly fat man.  My son, who is new to this whole experience, looks VERY concerned.  Even a little creeped out by the situation.  Finally, there's Pops... rockin' a 'burgh sweatshirt and throwin' some horns.  You gotta love this family.

Great picture! I love the look on Ethan's face...."What the heck is going on!"

Very cute. Maybe I should have gone to Bass Pro Shop - our mall Santa experience this year wasn't quite so jolly.
