Home / Life #TeamMotherly’s Santa pics: The good, the bad and the hilarious 🎅 You guys have some adorable kids. By Kaitlyn Russell December 10, 2019 Rectangle One of the best—or worst—parts of the holiday season is taking our littles to get their pictures with Santa Claus. Regardless of their age, some kids relish in those few minutes of telling Santa Claus exactly what they want under their tree and become pals with him, while others are terrified and hate every second of it (we have the escape proof below). Either way, it usually makes for some adorable (or really funny) photos to look back on over the years. So we asked #TeamMotherly to share their best Santa pics.
