Don’t let this big smile fool you…this photo almost didn’t happen.  After talking about the ‘hop’ the whole way to the mall and excitedly running to see him…once we walked up to the front he was terrifying.  She wouldn’t let aunt Tay or I even hold her anywhere near him.  We tried talking about it, bribing with candy, offering to ride one of the kiddie rides afterwards, and we even brought out the biggest bribe of all: the pacifier.  Nothing.  Finally I just held her on my shoulder and sat by him while Tay started acting like a fool by the camera to get her attention.  It took a while, but eventually it worked and we got the shot!  I suppose this makes for baby sister’s first Easter bunny photo also!  Haha.  It will be interesting to see how we are able to get two girls to happily sit for a photo with Santa/Easter bunny next year.

A few outtakes from the process…
