In a candid photo, the original American Idol shows us her toddler’s opinion of Santa Claus in a moment that will make your heart melt. 

Kelly Clarkson took to social media on Christmas Day giving fans a glimpse at one of her baby girl’s first meetings with Mr. Claus! In the adorable photo, Santa is holding the little one, but she doesn’t look like she’s having it! 

“So this happened….#RiverLovesSanta….is it wrong I slightly enjoyed this? Ha!” Clarkson captioned the holiday snap. 

River was born in June 2014 to Clarkson and her husband Brandon Blackstock, so this is just one of her first few run-ins with St. Nick. In October 2015, the couple announced that they are expecting another child, and this time it’s a boy! 

In addition to announcing her second child, Clarkson also debuted the second single (and title track) from her latest album, Piece By Piece in early November. The song has been acclaimed as one of the album’s highlights; especially for it’s lyrical content. 

Next year baby River will have a little buddy when she visits Santa! Check out the hilarious photo below!

So this happened…. #RiverLovesSanta ….is it wrong I slightly enjoyed this ha!
