Miley's First Trip to See Santa = FAIL

Johnny decided that since I've been laid up in hospital beds and my own since Wednesday, he'd get me and Miley out of the house so we could work on "Santa's Gift List" for the kids. (I was wheeled around in a wheelchair for about 75% of the trip). In between stops, we decided to make a trip to Dillards, buy Miley a Christmas dress and we even purchased some candy cane earrings to complete the outfit. We did all of this with the intent of taking her to see Santa and getting her picture made. We ran into Santa on his way to the Cookie Store at which point he stopped and talked to Miley. She was all smiles and giggles as usual.We mentioned to Santa that we were on our way for her to get her picture made with him so he told us to go wait and he'd be there in just a second. When he arrived, we carried Miley over to him who was still all smiley as usual and she remained this way up until the point Johnny and I walked away towards the camera. At that point, she had a total meltdown thus ruining any chance of us getting a good picture of them. Oh well we can always try again. Maybe her 2 brothers can help her out on the next try. Below is a pic I snapped of her right before we made our way down to see him. At least we got a good bit of the gifts on their Christmas wishlist out of the way -- I mean "Santa" did. And as for post-surgery Mommy, she will be laying in the bed for the next few days because she did just a little too much today.
