Christmas at our house / Visit to Santa

Here are some pictures of our house, decorated for the holidays. Since we are going to be where we are going to be for the holidays, we decided to not put up all of our outside decorations this year.

Closer up so you can make things out.

It figures that the day I take outside pictures I don't realize that one candy cane is out AND so is the Merry Christmas sign. Oh well =)

Crabtree Valley Mall has the BEST Santa, he talked to them directly and spent several minutes telling them to be good, listen to their parents, brush their teeth, flush & wash their hands after using the potty, play nice, sleep in their own beds all night long, etc... He also gave Thomas a piece of candy if he would smile. These pictures are the ones that Tom took with our camera. The picture from the mall 'idiot' doesn't show them smiling, even though they both did (oh well). At least they aren't screaming! In fact, little miss was afraid to go over to Santa, but as we walked away she gave him a hug (so did little man) and she said "I LIKE Santa"! Success!

Here Santa is bribing little man to smile. LOL
