I’m a sucker.  I took my baby to meet Santa today, and I ended up buying the photo CD.  The pictures were SO good!  I’ve been to the mall at Christmas time every year, and I always see the endless line of families waiting to meet Santa.  I did not want to wait in that line with a little baby!  So, I packed a special outfit this morning, and headed to the mall after work.  The line wasn’t long.  There were about 6 or 7 families ahead of us.  However, each family takes at least 5 minutes!  First, they take the “formal” pictures.  These can be printed up while you wait.  Then, they take a series of “candid” shots.  You can come back in two days to pick them up, or buy the CD which they burn while you wait.  I was worried that Thomas would not smile, or that he would be too tired to enjoy it.  He missed his nap, and was making his tired cry.  Well, when it was our turn, he was a champ!  It helped that the photographer was really good with him, AND he took great photos.  I was originally going to purchase the “formal” picture, but I didn’t really like it. The candids came out so much better.  Now I have to choose one that we will print out and send with the Christmas cards.   We’re a combo family, so we ordered a Hanukkah onesie from CafePress.com.  I’ll take separate pictures then.

For now, enjoy Thomas and Santa:
