The Annual Santa Photo

We'll not discuss the quality of the print nor the ability of the photographer to center the subjects. I'm thinking about getting the kids all dressed up again and going to take my own pic and bringing along this photo (which has been edited quite a bit) so they'll hopefully let me past the sign that says "no cameras beyond this point".

The visit with Santa was short, but sweet and each kid has asked for things that Santa will most certainly bring. Josh asked for a Gameboy, Jake asked for a BB gun and Kenna asked for books. It was nice to see that Josh had no fear of the big guy this year! I don't think we had a pic taken last year since I was busily trying to pack up our home and Jay was in Georgia, but the prior year's pic was pretty funny!


McKenna's music program was today and they all did a wonderful job. I'll have to work on photos of that. My camera doesn't do well in auditorium lighting. After the program I stopped to look at the letters to Santa that her class had done. Kenna's letter was very sweet asking Santa for "a truckload of books" and new clothes for mom (because I like clothes? I certainly don't need them!). She went on to say that there were some kids in her class that didn't believe any more but that she did and that she couldn't wait for Christmas! Only a few more weeks :)
