Santa 2013

We saw Santa yesterday. There wasn't a moment of hesitation or fear in my children. They were so excited to see him and did great for the picture. Apparently when asked what they wanted for Christmas, they both told him "surprise me", which works best for me.

Unfortunately when we were walking around the mall after the picture, I lost the CD with the image. I was so mad at myself, but it wasn't as bad as the misprinted Christmas Card fiasco of 2011. I've come to learn that no holiday season can go smoothly.

 I still had hard copies of the pictures, so here's the scanned version of the photo.

And a photo of the photo. 

Of course we had to do the group shot too.  No crying kids!  

I took some pictures in front of the festive mall decorations as well.  

Leo wasn't feeling the holiday spirit in some of them.

I'm not sure if you can tell, but that's ice all down the side of the driveway.  That's pretty darn cold for us wimpy Californians.
