Here Comes Santa Claus

We decided that it would be fun to take the babies to go see Santa this year. They saw him at the mall one time as we were walking by and Santa walked up to say hi to them. They were fine, but then again, Mommy and Grandma were holding them-- WAY different scenario! Ella and Evan have a Santa music box that plays Christmas songs. It's been sitting on our coffee table for much of the season. My sister was getting rid of it and Evan fell in love with it, so it came home with us. Ever since then, he points and grunts at it every morning when he gets up and from his nap. He gets a big smile on his face when it comes on. It has a dog laying next to Santa and when you ask him where the dog is, he'll makes his way over to that music box and point to the dog-- too cute! =)

The babies have been sick, but we decided that since they were doing better we better do it tonight as this would be our last chance. The Bass Pro Shop takes the pictures for free so we headed out to Santa's Wonderland there. The line was pretty long, but I was able to occupy the babies with Puffs (never leave home without them!).

I'm thinking that the pictures would have turned out a little differently if it wasn't the end of the day and if they weren't just getting over a cold, but who knows!? I think the crying pictures are pretty funny and will be comical later in years too! =)

Take 1: Ella isn't going for it!

Take 2: Evan was staring at Santa after the first picture and it was pretty cute so we thought we'd try again, but Ella was just as scared as she was the first time around! :(
