I admit I am no photographer!!

We took the kids to the Mall last night to see Santa. It was very humorous. All the way there in the car, they were constantly chatting about what they were going to tell him that they wanted him to bring. They each had a list a mile long. But, when they got there, they didn't even want to sit in his lap. We finally coaxed them into it. After the picture, he asked them what they wanted. They each only told him one thing. This is a horrible picture. Maddie looks a tad possessed, Ella looks mad, Ethan's eyes are closed, and it looks fuzzy. I left it small, because the bigger I made it, the worse it looked. I felt bad even taking one of my own, but I wanted to be able to post this adventure. I did buy some of the pictures that they took. Whew! They were not cheap! What happened to being able to tell Santa what you want for Christmas without taking out a loan?? But, they actually turned out cute. All three were smiling, which is somewhat close to a miracle. Bad picture aside, it was great fun to see the excitement in their faces and to take time in the midst of a busy season to "hang out"as a family. I pray that you all will have moments like these during this Christmas season!
