Seeing Santa

First we saw him at his "house" in downtown Crystal Lake. The girls were all poised (or should I say posed?) to see him. Yeah, they really loved those new pajamas!


Can I say HALLELUJAH for our very first year with everyone looking at the camera and smiling? No tears, no eyes askance, no faces betraying a moment of misery. We finally have a decent picture of the girls with Santa Claus!!! One for the record books, for sure.

He spent a little time with each of them where Ireland took the opportunity to hand him her wish list...

..Brigitta cared more about her candy cane...

...and Liesel leaned more than sat on Santa's lap.

Sydney had looked at the camera and smiled for one iconic photograph, we couldn't ask any more of her after that.

Next, Santa could be found at the ward Christmas party. Maybe the girls were getting a bit wary at this point...

...but they ultimately embraced this one as well.

Finally, Santa was spotted at Brigitta's preschool. 

Brigitta asked for Disney princesses, but one of her classmates asked for a "live baby." The room went silent as the very non-pregnant mother clarified she really wanted a Baby Alive. 
I've never seen a Santa look so relieved!

 Thanks for all the memories Santa(s)!!!
