The Big Guy In The Red Suit


Yesterday, Santa came to visit all of the children at Sunflower - every child in every building. 

We learned a few things from this experience, including: If you are a baby, Santa is your nemesis. 

We did our best to take a picture of each child with Santa, but if a child was old enough to say "No," we didn't push it. If a child got on Santa's lap and started crying, Katie helped them down ASAP. If your child was at school that day and isn't pictured, it's because he or she chose to opt out and we're not in the business of traumatizing kiddos. 

I had expected some crying here and there, but I also saw some impressive evasive maneuvers, like Hagen fighting his way out (Santa: "We have a runner!") or Charlie pretending to be asleep (brilliant!)


Some of the older kids didn't want to sit on Santa's lap, but were willing to let him photobomb their picture:

It was an entertaining day, for sure. 

HERE'S HOW YOU CAN 
SEE THE PICTURES AND GET 
YOUR FREE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD(S)


2) Browse the photo galleries - organized by age of student - and choose the picture(s) you'd like to download.

3) Click on the photo so it enlarges. 

4) In the bottom right corner of the screen under your chosen photo, you'll see a toolbar that looks like this:


5) Click on that down arrow almost all the way to the right, and your photo will start to auto download.

You could drag and drop the photo onto your desktop (or right click / Save As for you PC folks), BUT the image won't be full-res, and if you ever go to print a photo larger than 3x5, it won't be very good quality. By going the download route, you'll get the full-resolution 8MB file.

Let me know if you have any questions! Happy holidays from the Sunflower family!
