Santa 2010
We've never really made any effort to take the kids to see Santa. It was never a tradition that meant much to me, and I didn't see much point in standing in line with a cranky kid who would likely bury herself in my neck when we finally got to the front of the line.
That being said, I seem to have an awful lot of pictures of my kids with various Santas. We seem to come across one or two each year just in the natural course of things. It still surprises me every time my kids (particularly whoever is youngest at the time. My kids always start out shy.) walk right up to Santa and sit on his lap like he's family. It can be a little harder to get them to speak up, but considering Owen still randomly tries to crawl up my butt around people he's known for years, I'll take it.
This year was no exception. We were the first people at our HOA Christmas Party again this year, and Owen didn't even wait to be asked. As soon as he walked into the clubhouse and saw Santa, he knew what to do. He even spoke up and told him he wanted a bear. The girls wrote letters again, with Katie asking for Littlest Pet Shops, and Jamie requesting an ornament with Santa's picture on it, Littlest Pet Shops and damn, I can't remember the third thing (I asked: Armwarmers. You know, like legwarmers, but for you arms.) Good thing I'm done shopping for her.
Merry Christmas, y'all!

I saw armwarmers at the Gap today. They were on the rack with the fingertipless gloves. For realZ.
