I realize that Christmas is over now, and everyone is taking down and packing up their Christmas decorations. But I just recognized a failure on my part to post pictures of Bridget on Santa’s lap.

This is Santa at the Ward Christmas Party. I’ve seen a few Santa’s, and so far this one is my favorite.

Bridget saw the same Santa last year (2006) at Logan City’s Nights of Lights celebration. I was commissioned to take the Santa pictures for that event. Dave and I even got in on the Santa picture action. Look at how much Bridget has grown in the last year!

Bridget has also visited other Santa laps.

This is my other favorite Santa. The suit actually belonged to my grandfather. My dad gave it to me last year about the time these pictures were taken. The first one was taken in my basement studio as a lighting test right before some other kids arrived for their photo session. The other was taken at a boutique in Providence last year, where I set up shop for Santa pictures.

This year, Bridget also sat on Santa’s lap at Sam’s club. This was not my favorite Santa. Apparently it wasn’t her favorite Santa either.

In my quest for Santa pictures I also found this one. Its of Dave and his brother on Santa’s lap – Christmas 1985. Dave was 5 years old that Christmas – but look at the resemblance Bridget already has to her daddy!

I tried to find one of me with Santa. But apparently I don’t have one scanned. I know some exist. So, mom – if you are reading this and you can find one, please have dad scan it for you and send it my way. Thanks. I appreciate it.
