Here Comes Santa Claus...

This morning we dressed the boys up in red and headed to the mall to see Santa Claus!! I brought my camera with me, figuring we'd be in line for a long time and I would document the wait for the blog. But, there was no one there!! I think there was one kid ahead of us... Is this recession so bad that people aren't even taking their kids to see Santa?

Mitch and I were also dressed in holiday red, prepared to be in the picture in case one or both of the boys got freaked out by the man in the big beard. Alas, there was no freaking out, so Mitch and I were spared. We weren't sure Tyler was going to let us walk away after placing him on Santa's lap, but he did fine. The look on his face, however, does say a lot about how he felt:

No smile (just like last year), but at least he didn't cry! And check out how crafty Santa was in holding Evan's hand to keep his fingers out of his mouth. The guy's a pro.
