She did, eventually, sit on the floor in front of Santa, about 3 feet away, grudgingly, thanks to a sugar cookie with frosting and icing. Brian had to sit with her on the floor, and Josiah was unimpressed -this will be one Santa picture worth framing, right next to last year&#8217;s where they&#8217;re both screaming.&nbsp; I should just give up on pictures with Santa, shouldn&#8217;t I?
