It is time for the obligatory sharing of the Santa pictures. My kids continue to harbor a love/hate relationship with this man. Do they want his presents? Yes. Do they appreciate his candy canes? Sure. Do they look forward to sitting on his lap? Never.
But sit they must.
Is it me or are my kids hitting that “not so cute” with Santa stage? I kind of wish they would cry again or something interesting.
Regardless, we will power through. I told Maile as long as they’re living under my roof they will take pictures with Santa.
It’s all I ask for Christmas.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!!

2008 is my fav– it’s perfect!!! And, I was thinking that the other day, too. We really need to have a baby. For the blog.
Jessica says
Um 2008 is by far my FAVORITE! So cute. And Im the same–my kids are still little 3 and 1 but they will sit on Santa’s lap every year as long as they live in my house. :) Merry Christmas!
Jboo says
Its not you and its not a stage.
Stasha says
2008 they truly gave a spectacular performance. And 2007 Santa look is priceless. Merry Christmas Kat, to you and yours.

2005? Santa survives the stinkeye.
2008? I hope they got extra presents from you.
The Boy sort of willingly sat on Santa’s lap once – then told me in no uncertain terms “You got your picture, I’m done with this.”
Kisatrtle says
Merry Christmas! Love the pics
Laci says
2008 is a priceless picture. By far my favorite.
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.

GRAMPS says
First picture seems a little inappropriate being that there appears to be an arrow pointing to Santa’s crotch.
I’m just sayin
Rachel (Totally Ovar It) says
Secretly, my favorite Santa photos are ALWAYS the one when MULTIPLE kids are crying! Is that sadistic? Thank you for sharing your memories! Happy Holidays!
Susan in the Boonies says
Merry Christmas to YOU, my friend.
The Christmases, the stages, they fly by!!!
Enjoy them, for whatever they are. I’ll endeavor to do the same!

What’s up with Santa 2007? hahaha
happy holidays!
JDaniel4's Mom says
I think they still look cute! My son won’t go near Santa. Our picture would be the back of him running from him.
Weekend Cowgirl says
Hope you all had the best Christmas ever!
Jen says
2007, the picture is so pretty! – now SANTA on the other hand … love the pics! Hope your holidays were wonderful.
Marta says
I love the progression and also they are so unhappy in almost all of the photos!
Luckily my kids like sitting on Santa’s lap. Bella (15 m) blew him a kiss this year it was adorable. I’m hoping they don’t outgrow it.
Rachael says
I love series of photos that have one on the same day every year. Santa adds a humorous element to it, this is such a great way to have a quick look back through the years. Love it!
Daddy Scratches says
We actually get in ours with Santa. See? Scary.
PS: Is it just me, or does your 2011 Santa look a wee bit too relaxed? He’s phoning it in.
Daddy Scratches says
Oh, BTW: Merry belated Christmas. :)
Donna Holmes says
I love to see the dresses handed down each year…. too bad you didn’t have a 3rd daughter – you could have gotten another year out of those dresses!
Kir says
your kiddos are adorable…hope your holidays are STILL MERRY & BRIGHT, thanks for sharing all those wonderful pics with us (yes, yes, even the crying ones ;)
