And, here Paige and Taylor are cooperative, but remain very cautious and are not quite buying into this just yet. 
Taylor sits now at attention, and Paige begins to ready herself to bolt.
Santa's elves and helpers, sensing that Taylor and Paige are on the brink of ditching this photo session, bring in some visual aides - fuzzy, rainbow colored dustmops - in an effort to get them to sit and smile for their photos. 
Dustmop distraction thingie seems to work and buys Santa's elves and helpers a little extra time to click away on their camera as Taylor and Paige sit for just a few seconds longer.
And, another click or two of the camera.
And, then it happens....
Smiles no more. Laughter no more. It's a full-on meltdown. So, what was it that set Paige and Taylor off exactly? Well, if you look closely at the photos, Santa was always positioned behind the chair well out of view of Paige and Taylor. The ticket to getting them to sit and cooperate was tied directly to whether or not Santa was anywhere near them. So long as they couldn't see or hear Santa, they were good. They didn't know that Santa was around. Well, near the end of the photo session, one of Santa's little elves told Paige and Taylor to look behind them and they'd see Santa coming to visit them. And, when they did, lo and behold, there was Santa, standing waaaaaaaaay to close to them for their comfort. Immediately, both girls broke out in their loudest shrieks and the tears started flowing and as you can see from this last photo above, they were crying for their "moooooooommmmmmmmmy"!!!!
