The holidays are all about creating memorable moments, and for Brittany Mahomes, her son Bronze’s first attempt at a Santa photo is one for the books!

The Kansas City Current co-owner recently shared a hilarious update on Instagram, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the holiday chaos that can come with getting a toddler to sit on Santa’s lap.

On December 6, Brittany posted a charming photo of her 2-year-old son, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, looking all smiles in a post-Santa moment. But as Brittany cleverly pointed out, the cheerful grin wasn’t quite the reality during the actual photo shoot.

“Of course he was smiley and in a great mood once he wasn’t close to Santa ,” Brittany wrote, capturing the relatable chaos that many parents know too well when trying to get the perfect holiday picture.

In the snapshot, Bronze looked adorable in a flannel hoodie and cargo pants, sitting up straight on a folding chair with a big smile. But Brittany couldn’t resist sharing a follow-up image that was even more telling. “A perfect picture of how the Santa pictures did not go… ,” she joked, and it’s easy to imagine the struggle that led to the candid post-shoot moment.

Despite the not-so-magical encounter with Santa, it’s clear the Mahomes family is still soaking up the holiday spirit. Just weeks before, Brittany had shared a sweet video of her daughter Sterling decorating a pink Christmas tree with orange lollipop ornaments, giving fans a glimpse into their festive home. And Bronze, ever the helper, was spotted in other snaps, assisting with the holiday décor while holding a gold ribbon roll in front of a Christmas tree.

It’s been a special few weeks for the Mahomes family, as they’ve also been celebrating Bronze’s milestone 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day. Just days after his 2nd 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day on November 28, Brittany posted an adorable peek into the Mickey Mouse-themed party they threw for him, complete with balloons, a custom “Mahomes” jersey, and even a claw game that Bronze played with his dad, Patrick Mahomes.

Now, with the holidays in full swing and their family expanding with the arrival of a third 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 on the way, the Mahomes’ Christmas memories are only just beginning. Even if Bronze’s first Santa photo didn’t go as planned, it’s moments like these that make the holiday season so special — and Brittany’s fans can’t wait to see what comes next for this adorable family!
