Seeing Santa 09

Last year we went to see Santa inside a mall and we could take our own Santa pics. This year Santa came much closer to home, but we had to wait outside. It was in the mid 40's and the kids kept warm by running around the giant Christmas Tree with a friend from Treyton's school. We were not really prepared to stand outside for an hour so our hands and ears got cold. It was right before we entered the building (additional 1/2 wait inside) that Wade needed to use the restroom. The bathroom was so toasty warm. Had I known that 1 hour ago, Celeste and mommy would've hung out in the bathroom. (mental note for next year).
With camera in hand to take my own photos with Santa, a sign outside the building said "No personal cameras allowed". So I attempted to take photos outside with the giant Christmas Tree instead. Didn't work, boys just wanted to run around with friend. Maybe next year will travel a tiny bit to see Santa and actually take a picture with him. Celeste was so excited to see Santa, but once we got inside she wanted to leave. She kept saying bye-bye. Boys did great with Santa, but Celeste refused to sit on his lap. Not a big deal since I wasn't going to spend money on a photo with Santa. Cheapest photo deal was a 4x6 and some smaller ones for $17 printed on a cheap home printer--no way!
