A Visit with Santa

Yes! I am actually updating our blog (after 3 + months) - but in all fairness, I sprained my ankle (a really, really bad sprain) and have been recovering from that, and our computer died on top of that, so I had to get our pics off it. But, more catch up later. Last Friday night was our Family Fun day, so we got the kids ready in their cute matching outfits and went to see Santa himself. It didn't go quite as I envisioned it, as Aidan wouldn't sit anywhere close to Santa (which I had considered as it's typical for that age), but I took what I could get!
We decided to get a good one with just Alex. Isn't he cute? I wanted to try to get one with Aidan kinda close to Santa, so asked if I could hold him. We all got in the pic, but you can see that Jon and I weren't quite dressed to be in the pic, but hey - like I tell my kids: you get what you get and you don't throw a fit.

Merry Christmas to you!

Yeah! You updated. This pictures are cute. Even though it isn't what you envisioned, I'm sure in a few years you guys will look back at that pic and laugh. Don't ya just love the true moments of life and how they present themselves.

See you in a bit. We are excited to have our Aidan time.

Ben did the same thing one year. I had to stand next to Santa and hold him for the picture. The boys look great in their matching outfits.

Such cute Santa pictures, an unusual back ground I can't place it, you'll have to tell us where it was. The boys are darling even if Aidan was being bashful....the boys matching sweaters are so fun!!
Glad you guys were able to sit in for parental support!!!!

I think you guys all look great! What a fun time! The twins did the same thing at that age! At least you have a picture to remember--our boys wouldn't go this year!:) XO
