Santa!!

We have really been looking forward to taking the kids to see Santa, but we didn't want to pay $30 for a mall Santa and the professional photos.  Luckily, there is a shopping plaza out in Bee Caves (west of Austin) that has a free Santa, so yesterday was the day!

We didn't really have high hopes that the kids would cooperate.  Nora may have done ok, but she's sick and a it whiny and needy right now. Amelia is going through an "only mommy" phase and lets not pretend we thought Logan would sit on his lap!  Although, Logan talked a big game this year.  He said he was going to ask Santa for train.  

He watched him.  

He waited in line.

Then in was out turn...he turned at ran!

Literally!

Ran the other direction :)

So, he's not in any of the pictures.

Here is what we got...initially, just a bit unsure of what is going on.

Oh no...this is not good!

We thought a family shot might help her realize that Santa is a cool guy :)

Try again with Amelia (but not Logan...as I mentioned he ran for the hills!)

So, apparently the children in my family do not like Santa much.  My mother has stories from my first year with Santa, and she never even tried with Mimi!  I guess we're just not Santa Babies!  Maybe next year?
