Santa pics

I wanted to post these before Christmas was officially here. We took the kiddos last week to see Santa. Colten talked and talked it up, was so excited, and could not wait to tell Santa everything he wanted this year. Well...we got to the mall and actually planned on eating first, but he insisted that we see Santa first. So, we got to the counter and he was still very excited, but as we approached Santa it happened. That excited grin turned into a very anxious look of uncertainty. He definitely wanted to still see Santa, just not up close and personal. He was very torn, so after several minutes of persuasion (by both of us AND Santa), he agreed to stand beside him for a photo, and that was it. He could barely look at Santa and barely whispered his wish list, it was really too cute. In the meantime, Cambry sat happily on Santa's lap while Colten was being persuaded. They captured this precious picture, she thought he was great.

And here's the final attempt, not too bad I guess. Notice Colten's awkwardness. Oh well, maybe next year. At least I didn't have to sit on Santa's lap with Colten this year!!! (we missed you Whitesides)

Have a fantastic week everyone!!! Merry Christmas!!!
