Visiting Santa

Visiting Santa is probably my least favorite part of Christmas traditions! But, this was Elleigh Kate's first Christmas, so we had to go! The REAL Santa is at North Park and has been for at least 16years (this was the Santa Caleb saw on his first Christmas). We decided Monday would be good because everyone would be back in school, and get there as soon as the mall opened so that we could get an early ticket. Our ticket time was 12:15, Santa started seeing kids at 11...and it was only 9:15! We walked around for awhile. Once we got to the ducks, we stopped for a while. 

 Why not have a mini photo shoot while we wait?!

 Around 10:45, we decided to head back to Santa's location hoping they would let us get in line early. Bless the babies hearts! They were so bored and restless!! But were good, considering!

 Zoey was not at all excited about seeing Santa, no matter how much we prepared her! Elleigh was in meltdown mode so I was not expecting a good picture! We told Zoey she could just stand next to Santa, and we got this adorable shot!
 But then Santa talked her into sitting in his lap and we got this!!!! (picture taken of picture)
This picture was worth it all!
 By the time we left, this is how we all felt!
The Christmas festivities are officially starting! 
It's my favorite time of year!
