Picture with Santa

We took the girls tonight to get their picture taken with Santa. We went to the Bass Pro Shop where they give you one free picture. Gotta love the free things since nothing now days are free! Kristen said on the way there that the Bass Pro Shop and Food Lion were her favorite stores. We really should get out to different places more! Anyways, when we first arrived Kristen informed us that she was not going to sit on Santa's lap. We told her she didn't have to that we would just go and say hi. They had lots of activities for the kids to keep them busy while waiting for Santa. Kristen and Lauren colored ornaments. When it was our turn, as we walked up, Lauren was just waving to Santa. I thought it might turn out good after all. Then I plopped her right down on his lap and the crying started. So, all of us piled in the picture and it turned out to be a family portrait with Santa. When we left Kristen told us that she didn't have to sit on Santa's lap because he already knew what she wanted.




Here is the ornament Kristen colored


Here is the ornament Lauren colored. She is a pro now at holding the crayon and actually coloring. This is something we have worked on and she enjoys it too.
