A Visit with Santa

Yesterday we braved the icy roads for our annual visit with Santa. It was nice to get out of the house since we've been cooped up for a few days. I asked Sadie what she was going to say to Santa when she saw him...she told me she would tell him she didn't like him. She didn't end up saying anything, just crying. We've never had a Santa picture without at least one cryer so it's kind of a tradition now. Marshall, Ella, and Ava had a nice visit though...

After Sadie got over her trauma, we continued on with our other tradition of splitting up and letting the kids pick out gifts for each other. I lucked out this year and got Marshall and Ella...Matt didn't have as much fun with Sadie and Ava. Sadie has an aversion to her stroller, hand-holding, listening, malls in general. We got it done though and the kids can't wait for their partner to open the gift they picked out. We're finally feeling ready for Christmas!!
