We ventured to the mall today...and let me tell you it was nuts! We had VERY little shopping left to do- we mainly went so the kids could see Santa. I thought Cole would do better- he was really tired! But the other two kids love Santa! The whole ploy to say "santa is watching"...to get the kids to behave isn't working anymore. I wish I could say it was! Especially since we are off from school for the next two weeks! I hope we make it to Christmas without too much stress!

My baby is crying in her Santa picture too! I actually got my kids by putting elf foot prints on my porch and saying that they had come to check up on them for Santa. Naive kids I must have because they believed me and have been much more pleasant :)

Yeah - good luck to all moms everywhere this week, right?

I personally love the pictures where kids are screaming with Santa. Any other time of year we teach them to run from strange old men.

Well, no wonder that Santa looks mean!

I love it. Poor little Cole-didn't like Santa. He will someday grow to like him.

I'm not sure how happy that Santa is either. Did he get denied his H1N1 shot this fall?
