Every year I jump through a lot of hoops to get a picture of the boys with Santa. I may have even bribed one of my sons one year. But it means a lot to me to be able to look at these pictures now and see how our family has grown over the years. I have hope next year that we can do it again.

I found this in our coffee hot chocolate table the other day. It’s a good thing that Santa is able to predict the future and was one step ahead of Marcus. Let’s just hope he doesn’t change his mind again.
But she paid dearly for it. She stood in the slowest line in the world in heels, in the cold for this. After being the best kid in the line, Marcus stuffed a bunch of candy in his mouth right before he got on Santa’s lap. Then he insisted on smiling like he did for his school pictures. Why do pictures have to be so hard?
Santa told him he needed to make his mom happy so he finally finished his candy and she got a good picture of Marcus and Travis.
By then Nathan was out of there. There were cute girls from school down there and he was totally embarrassed. He told his mom that she only had two more years of this with him. Mom feels kind of sad about that.
I know they are expensive, but I have to buy them every year.

My Grade School Boy
(Hopefully he won’t smile like that next year)
Some day when they get married or something I will make a collage of all their school pictures so everyone will see how dorky cute they were.
