Christmas Pictures

We took the kids to see Santa at the mall (Erik knows this Santa and the kids seem to like him as well). This year instead of just getting a picture of the kids with Santa we got one of the whole family. The package we bought let us get 3 poses so we also got one of all 3 kids and then one of just J - a little something to make her feel extra special. These are the best 3 we got (don't mind C's tongue he likes to stick it out). [ C is in the brown/red sweater and W is in the tan/brown/red one]

Since we had a little extra time with Daddy before Santa would be at the mall, we went to the local bagel shop (a favorite of ours) and got some breakfast and then we went to a park right behind it where we were going to attempt to get individual pictures of the kids. Unfortunately, the grass was wet so we didn't dare let the boys out of the stroller so I attempted to get some of them while sitting down.

I couldn't get W to look at me and smile at the same time so this is the one we went with.

J kept wanting to do silly poses and faces, but I got a cute one with half a smile here.

C was the most cooperative. I want you to take a note of his nice clear forehead - he had a big mishap later that afternoon (post coming soon).
