Visit With Santa

We decided to take the boys to see Santa today. It's early but we figured we'd beat the crowd. There were two families in front of us when we arrived, so our timing was perfect.

I say it every year and I'll say it again: We absolutely love the Santa and photographers at the South Hill Mall. He's the best-looking Santa I've ever seen and I love the backdrop they use. They spend so much time with each family and try so hard to get good shots.

Santa could tell that Owen was a little shy, so he pulled out a snow globe and book to share with Owen. After a few minutes, Owen really warmed up and even told Santa that he would like Thomas the Train and some cars for Christmas.

Logan liked Santa's jacket and beard. He sat so well and didn't wiggle or fuss at all. I always get nervous when it comes to Santa pictures because I'm terrified of ending up with a screaming kid picture! But all went well, and here is this year's picture:And because it's always fun to compare, here are pictures from years past.
