santa baby.

every year my mom begs us older kids to take a picture with santa,

and every year we protest, but eventually give in.

this year, we stood our ground.

until....

tonight.

us four oldest kids broke down,

and ran to the mall to have our picture snapped with santa baby.

here is what it looks like when you wait till the last minute,

catch santa right before he leaves,

and have one chance with the cell phone camera.

not. too. cute.

but that's that.

hope mommy dearest likes it.

hey santa, hey santa,


{pic snapped by santa's elf with my sidekick. next year, we wont wait.}

happy christmas eve, eve.

happy {christmas eve, eve} everyone!

are you all done with the {hustle and bustle?}

i'm hoping to finish my gifts tonight

(i'm making most of mine this year).

♥

i hope you're having a blessed {christmas eve, eve,}

and that youre reflecting on the Savior and His birth.

{have a good one!}
