Santa Baby

Everyone wants photos of their kids in front of the Christmas tree, and we did the obligatory Mall Santa photos already. Though I generally only do documentary photos of my little one, once a year I actually set up a little "scene" at Christmastime, because what kid won't sit still for milk and cookies? Crazy 8 sells these awesome Santa and Elf jammies, so they fit the scene just right. My daughter had no trouble diving into the scene, and as you'll see, some people really do cry over spilled milk, but she recovered quickly when she realized she still had several gingerbread survivors.

I just love putting these photos up at Christmastime around our house...but next year may be tricky with 2 little ones! I hope you are having a very Merry Christmas with your friends and family!

And here are some from last year. I used a flash then but wanted something more natural this year. Either way, I think my little cookie baby is adorable. ♥
