Jolly, Old Saint Nicholas

At some point I'm going to run out of holiday songs to steal my blog titles from.

Last Friday, I took the children to see Santa for our "official" Santa trip. We had seen Santa at Wal-Mart, at a Christmas party, and around town, but this was the visit to take pictures and tell him what we wanted. I was nervous about Phoebe after seeing her reaction to Santa at the Caroling Party so we waved and made eyes at him while we were waiting for Brad to meet us there.


They changed up the mall Santa scene this year to look more like a winter garden (I guess) so we had to take a few more pictures.


Eli and "Cindy Lou Whoo, who was no more than two." Although I wonder if Cindy Lou Whoo's mother made her wear shoes that were a size too small just because they looked so darn cute.


Finally, THE PICTURE! It's a little grainy because I scanned it on our printer at home.

It didn't turn out so bad. Twenty bucks for an mediocre picture...hmmmm, we must be parents!

Sporting the hats that we received after our visit. They wore these the rest of the day and pretended they were reindeer. Apparently reindeer do a lot of running and yelling.

Hey there,
I have heard that reindeer are particuarly rambunctious this time of year. What great fun, we are really missing you guys and can't wait for New Years.
Hang in there with the holidays.
Love you, see you soon.

Ah...we must share like minds as I have made my daughter wear her red mary janes that are a size too small many times in the last few weeks. i am a sucker for red shoes on a little girl and haven't found a replacement pair that I like as much as the ones we currently own.

Great santa pictures! Every year i swear I am opening my own Santa booth because those people must make a killing off of charging $20 for a picture quickly printed in the middle of the mall!
