A Day with Santa

Last year, Ryan Lincoln and I went to see the Northpark Santa with my best friend Shannon, her husband Mark and their son Brenden. We made a day of it and had a ball. The boys were so cooperative! This year, was another story. The 6 of us went to IHOP for breakfast and then headed to Willow Bend to meet the big guy. Lincoln was not a big fan of Santa, though as soon as he wiggled out of his lap, he turned to smile and wave bye bye to Santa. Lincoln has a lifesized singing Santa in his room, that he lovingly refers to as "Ho Ho Ho". I thought he'd be less skiddish around the real thing...not so much. Here is a shot of Lincoln and "Ho Ho Ho".

Snow!


Two of the cutest kids ever! Brenden is 3 months older.

This was intended to be a joke, seriously!

As a side note, we only sent out a handful of Christmas cards to the grandparents, and a few out of town friends. I hope you are enjoying this Christmas season and are finding plenty of reasons to celebrate!
