Pregnant Brittany and Patrick Mahomes take their children for photos with Santa

Brittany and Patrick Mahomes are getting into the holiday spirit with their little ones.

On Tuesday, December 24, the soon-to-be mother of three, 29, shared a series of cute family photos Instagram, when they took a trip to meet Santa Claus. The family of four posed with a Christmas tree behind them, and Santa’s big, red bag of presents in front of them.

In the photos, their daughter, Sterling Skye, 3, sits on the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback’s lap, while their son, Bronze, 2, sits on Brittany’s lap. And in a few of the pictures, Santa sneaks in and poses behind the crew.

“Merry Christmas,” the proud mother captioned her post.

While the little ones were all smiles in her Instagram carousel, the former footballer revealed that the photoshoot didn’t go so smoothly for her Instagram stories.

In a collage of images, Bronze can be seen crying hysterically on Santa’s lap while holding two candy canes, and Sterling is standing next to them, looking very confused.

Above the photos, Brittany shared that the “Bronze phrase of this holiday season” is “I scared Santa, I cry Santa.”

The Mahomes family started celebrating the holiday season extra early this year. On Monday, December 9, the mother of two shared photos to her Instagram Stories of her family enjoying a night of ice skating.

In the first photo, Brittany posted a photo of her Sterling wearing a white sweatsuit while sitting on a red toddler on the ice. The oldest of the Mahomes children posed for the photo op as several large trees with lights could be seen in the background.

Brittany tagged her husband in another slide, which showed the NFL star holding hands with their two children. Bronze wore a matching white sweatsuit just like her older sister.
