Brinley Meets Santa
I took Brinley to meet Santa and it went pretty much as expected. That fluffy beard, big red cheeks, bowl full of jelly lap it’s all a little scary. There was only one person in front of me and no one behind me so I took my time warning Santa of her floppy body and her fear of strangers. As soon as I handed her to him she started screaming. I couldn’t use my flash on the picture so I took one and it was blurry and then I started trying to adjust it. As you can see I took about 3 pictures and couldn’t get rid of the blur. I was messing with the settings when the “elf” (a very large woman) told me Brinley was turning blue so I would have to go. Santa also said he couldn’t hold her much longer. I had been there less than 2 minutes! Most of you who have met our dear Brinley know that she is great at pitching fits. She always holds her breath and turns a variety of colors. I’m used to it so I just laughed but apparently Santa and his elves weren’t quite as understanding. Christmas 2009
