We saw Santa!!!

For the first year ever, both kids agreed to visit with Santa. Even Cassie! I wasn't too sure because she and I went to the mall earlier and passed by Santa and she was dragging me away screaming (yes, quite the scene, and we didn't even go NEAR him). But Jamie must have given her some courage, because she walked right up. She was VERY nervous, but told him she wanted a "Peppy the Birdie" and Jamie told him he wanted Battleground. They were so cute!

Here they are at home getting ready for the big event:

Jamie is waiting his turn (I love love love this photo of him, he looks so big!):

WOW!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is quite the accomplishment!!!

Sydney keeps going back and forth. She first said if Mason goes up, she'll go with him. Now she's saying I have to go up (which I'm not going to do - it's not ME I want in the picture!!!!). I'm REALLY hoping that I can get a picture of both of them - especially before the "magic" is gone for one of them! :(

Great pictures Candy!! I'm amazed at the beautiful pics that camera takes.

Yeah, we think this might be Jamie's last year of "magic" so we are milking it as much as we can!

*laugh* Yeah, we got there when there was only 2 other people in front of us, so I think the short wait helped. And hopefully Mason will help too. Jamie did with Cassie and he was pretty nonchalant about it, which helped her.

Good luck! I'll be looking for your santa photos!

Thank you for the compliment, I love this camera. It's, of course, the lens that makes the difference. I have a new one should be here today, but I have 2 more than I'm just absolutely dying for. Taking that class is really helping too. I've learned a lot!

YEAH!!!!!!! SOmetimes all it takes is big brother to help out. Gotta love that. Milk it all the way, because once they "know" it's just not the same. :( I have to say, your santa is AWESOME!!!! Ours here looks like Mrs Claus hasnt been fattening him up for the winter. He's almost anorexic. YIKES! I'm afraid once my moose gets on him, he might break a hip or leg bone ;)

Great pics

Those are GREAT pics!! (Side note: I JUST got the XTi too...any tips?)

I'm planning to take the girls to see Santa but I have NO idea how it will go. I can't imagine Avery going up to see him but she says she's going to, so we'll see.

Caren... do NOT look at lenses... LOL... I'm going to go broke buying glass! I've got 3 and am lusting after a macro... oohh... I really really really want a macro!

I stopped by the mall last night to check out Santa and he's a COMPLETE DUD!!! Fake beard and mustache!! Grrrr - that doesn't help!!!

SO now I'm searching for a better one - hopefully that will help Syd.
