SANTA!!

We visited Santa the day after Thanksgiving this year. It was our 3rd time to see the NorthPark Santa in Dallas. Every year Brooke has done really well and never cried so our pictures have always turned out really well. This year with three kids was much more difficult. Brooke has been in this "no smile" phase and Hudson and Hallie weren't sure what to think. Hudson just kept looking at him and Hallie started to cry some. Unfortunately, my camera ran out of battery just after I took this shot, so I wasn't able to try and get another one with the kids all looking and smiling*!! The professional photographer wasn't much more successful. The shot that we ended up with was pretty much the same as this one. Hopefully we can keep up the tradition and continue seeing this Santa for a while. We'll have to time our visits to Dallas accordingly!
