Santa Picture 2010

This years Santa pic could not have gone off any better with the exception of who our Santa was this year.

Every year my mom insists that we get a picture of my brother and I and then as our family has grown, we have to include the new members, ie, Greg and Hailey. We started the tradition of going to Nordstroms as that is where our "our Santa" lives. Unfortunately, "our Santa" was not invited back to partake as Santa this year, Boo Hoo for us. This year we sent my brother to get in line a bit before they opened to get a good spot and thank goodness he did because if we had gotten in line when we showed up, the process would have taken an extra 2 hours.

Hailey did great and had a perfect smile for her separate pic and our family pic also turned out pretty cute.

After the pictures, we headed over to PF Changs for lunch and Hailey had quiet the time climbing over Greg and flashing the rest of the Lodge as her tights were "itching her".

We then headed into the mall to hit the toy store to check out what she so nicely asked Santa for which was a surprise to me, Calico Critters, and found the family of the elephants that she just had to have. I thought, up until meeting Santa, that I was getting off easy with a princess beach ball. 

 On our way to the car, we then spotted the reindeer from the rafters and got quite the holiday magic shot of her an Grandma. I just love this one that shows the magic and awe but it is hard to see her face so I put up both of them.  

Since I had the shots from below, I wanted to post the one from above of when she ran to the bench and just sat a watched Santa from afar and the reindeer up above.
