Yes, the jolly old man is at the mall already. I know it's before Thanksgiving but since I hate waiting in line, we ventured out to see him this past weekend to get our annual photo taken.

This is the third year in a row that we've seen the same Santa (whom I adore - he's such a nice man and SO looks the part). In the past, C had almost no reaction...


But this year was definitely different. As my friend Robyn said about the photo below, "Looks like she is really breaking it down for Santa". She sure did. K on the other hand melted into tears soon after the picture was taken.

It was a gorgeous day so after the photo, we stayed at the mall and walked around for a bit. C had fun at the fountain and surprisingly, pet a few dogs. This is a HUGE breakthrough since she usually wants to be picked up if there is any dog in the vicinity.

BTW...did you happen to notice that C's dress is the same one as last year?! I'm so glad we're able to get some more wear out of it. These days, C just seems to be growing taller not wider.
I love it-C is such a big girl! We saw the same Santa (from a distance) on Sunday and N announced that he was the 'real' Santa. I am impressed by how on the ball you guys are this year!
