Seeing Santa

We visited Santa with The Smith's and Schwalbach's. Of course, the kids had SO much fun together! It's a good thing there's a lot of space and not a ton of people at this mall, because our kids make it their home :) Carter actually sat on Santa's lap this year, and we were so proud of him. He looked like he was going to cry at first. But, we said "Hey, Carter - this is your chance to tell Santa what you want him to bring you for Christmas..." And he started talking. Carter was only asking for one thing this year - football guys. We bought him Michigan football guys for his 3rd birthday, but now he wants opponents...specifially, Michigan State, Broncos, Lions, and occasionally he asks for Ohio State. Poor little Blake was dealing with an amoxicillin allergy...please ignore his polka-dottedness. Sorry...no Santa pictures because I didn't want to spend an insane amount of money to purchase the CD and I haven't been able to scan our photo yet.
