Mommy's Kissing Santa Claus Picture of the Day

This mum-of-one got a surprise when she took her daughter to see Santa Claus in Clerys this morning.

SHEUNA PIKE GOT quite a shock this morning when she brought her 11-month-old daughter Halle to see Santa Claus in Clerys.
Instead of meeting the jolly man from the North Pole, she was greeted by a much more familiar face.

When she entered the grotto, her long-term boyfriend Gary Lawlor was ready and waiting. In his hand? A sparkling diamond.

The Glasnevin man got down on one knee and proposed to Sheuna. The pair have been going out for about eight-and-a-half years.
