Another year...another Santa!

I'm Happy to Say we Survived Christmas Portraits and got to see Santa!
This year we hit Sears for our portraits like we do every year, and every year my expectations are lower and lower.
This year, getting 4 kids dressed and out the door for our 5pm session was a mission in itself, and we actually made it to our appointment in time.
Since we waited this long (our pics won't be ready till the 16th) the studio was not half as crowded as it usually is, and we only had to wait till 5:13 to go in.
The boys were surprisingly cooperative and Bella even decided to wake up for a few of them...
The family shots were interesting.....I'll leave it at that, and the individuals were ok but would of been better if the girl was able to crop without charging extra (stupid sears policy).
Overall it was a pretty good experience.
As we were leaving, the kids started begging to see Santa so we hit the central part of the mall and saw a huge line....then we realized it wasn't for the jolly old guy, but for some dance performance going on, and we got to see Santa without waiting at all....SCORE!!!!!!!!!
The kids were ok, and pretty excited, except for Christopher who is not fond of any grown up in costume...(see Easter Bunny blog for further proof) LOL.
We are officially ready for the holidays!!!!!!!

Adorable, even with Christopher looking pensive.

Whats really sad to me is that you probably had an easier time posing all four of your kids than I would with just Zilla - he is SO not one to listen or sit still for one second.

The picture of the kids turned out nicely!

Christopher was the most difficult, he's such a bad listener, and loves to challenge authority...he's my future criminal!
