We thought we'd be smart by getting there before the doors opened, but apparently everyone had the same thought and we found ourselves in a scene from "The Christmas Story." Like Ralphie, Nathan couldn't wait to get to the front of the line. I had been coaching Rachel the entire morning and whispered bribes in her ear while we waited in line, "Mommy just wants a good picture, so if you don't cry, you'll get a treat," "Santa is so nice, just smile for the picture," etc. We had high hopes of no tears this year but alas, Santa struck again!


Matthew's first visit with Santa. He wasn't impressed.
Happier times while we waited 45 minutes in line.
She's adorable. Her hair has grown so much since I've seen her last. I love it!
