Trip to see Santa....

Yesterday my mom and I took the boys to see Santa at my mom' s work. They opened up her place of employment for the employees to bring their children/grandchildren in to see Santa for free. We have been several times in the past and it is always a good time. They also set up craft room, where the children can create crafts, a coloring room, where they can draw and the best part a cookie room. This is where the children can decorate a cookie and eat it! (This of course is the favorite room!) New this year they also had two little elves there that were all dressed up and making Christmas balloon figures, wreaths, crazy Christmas hats. The boys really enjoyed watching them make the balloon figures. Well, we get up to see Santa, and I have been talking about going to see Santa all week, so Keith would be prepared for it at least. Last year he was so happy to see Santa and talked the poor guys ear off. Well, it didn't happen that way this year. This time Keith wanted nothing to do with having to go see Santa and having his picture taken. Once I put the younger boys on Santa's lap, they were fine for like 2 seconds until they saw Keith pouting and starting to cry and then they all broke loose crying! I had hoped this would be a great smiley picture of all the boys because I was going to use it for our Christmas cards this year that we send out. My husband thinks I should use it anyway....and just put a cute caption on it saying something like... "Why fake it, this is reality!" So I am thinking about it! It would probably be a Christmas card that most would not be use to seeing!
