I snuck a picture of Em with Santa before the photographer came in ::
Santa didn't mind, but I don't think the photographer was too happy. Oh well. He should've been at his post! She doesn't look too healthy here, and the picture the photographer took didn't turn out too well. She was excited to see Santa, but not excited to turn on her charm for the camera. It's kind of sad... last year, she gave them such an amazing photo that it's been used for this year's advertising of pictures with Santa -- two weeks of Em in the local newspaper almost every single night. Too cool. I don't think this year's picture will accomplish the same, but that's okay.
We then went to Miss Mouse at the Courthouse. I gotta say, it was a disaster. We waited in line for forever to get Em's picture taken with the mouse. Forever. Rumor was they were having issues with a memory card, and that was the hold up. Okay, that's understandable -- technology doesn't always cooperate. But then we waited almost an hour for her picture to be printed before I gave up and left without it. Ridiculous. I kept being told it would take 10 more minutes to get it done. 10 minutes later, and I was being told the same thing. My sister took Elle later in the day and they ran out of ink while printing out her picture, and she also had to wait for forever. I don't know. I'll have to really consider going again next year because I didn't feel I got my money's worth out of it this year. Em did enjoy decorating a cookie with icing, M&Ms, and sprinkles though.
Em enjoying her cookie she decorated all by herself ::
I think it was just too much for Em, being the day after surgery. I felt sooo bad when we got home and this was what happened ::
But isn't that just an awesome Christmas picture? Christmas shirt, snowflake blankie, and "Santa Bear" that the hospital gave her the day before.
