1.) Have you made a visit to the North Pole yet? Share your Santa pictures!
I would never pass up an opportunity to share my annual Santa through the years in pictures. This year we met Santa in the Winter Wonderland of Seattle and enjoyed carousel rides, mini donuts, and hot cocoa afterward.
Just think, in ten years you’ll have approximately 4,500 of our family Santa photos to scroll through!
Can’t wait.

I love their facial expressions. Even the crying ones are cute! The last one tops the charts though! Adorable.

2006 and 2008 look like rough years. They are. Adorable on each one. Not funny looking at all. Merry Christmas!
Tonya says
They are all cute, but 2005 cracks me up. Great prompts this week. I liked them so much I picked two.
Happy holidays!
Mindi says
I am loving 2008!!! What a fun prompt!! :) I was too lazy to dig all of ours up so settled for a different prompt. After seeing yours I may have to dig all of them up, as if I don’t have a million other things to do!
Kim @ This Belle Rocks says
Is it wrong of me to admit that I love photos of Santa where at least one child is screaming and/or crying?
Seriously, I do love Santa photos, and didn’t get nearly enough of my kids with him when they were growing up :(
tori nelson says
2008 was a doozy. That is a Christmas Card gem if I’ve ever seen one.
Single Mom in the South says
Somewhere I lost track of visiting Santa… I think it was when we moved down here and would have had to stand in line for two hours then mortgage the house to pay for Santa pictures. I was all over the free one at the library up north!
hollow tree ventures says
Loved scrolling through the years – though I couldn’t stop laughing after 2005!
Sue says
This? Is what parenting is all about. Stockpiling blackmail material for the rehearsal dinner slideshows before their weddings.
Raine says
2012 is the best one yet!!
chrisina says

Sitting here, I’m thinking that I’ve never taken my children to see Santa. My oldest never wanted to go — so we never got into the tradition. And as a child, I always dreaded it like going to the dentist. But we do have a tradition in our small town that after the Christmas parade, Santa and Mrs. Claus, get out of their red Cadillac and then the kids sit on his lap. My youngest two have done that many times. Whew. Now I don’t feel like like such a mama failure.
Bossy Betty says
What a great collection! 2011 was the year of frozen smiles, eh? I get it! It was for me too!
Gillian @ Money After Graduation says
haha these are great. 2007 was a great year ! :P It’s neat to see the progression over the years.
Miriam Gomberg says

Andrea says
Your pics rock. Seriously. Awesome.
Jenny says
2005 & 2008 are the best. My son has maybe 5 pics with Santa then he was all heck to the no I am not sitting with that scary man.
WeeMason's Mom says
I love how at least one kiddo in each picture looks seriously unimpressed. Apparently this year was the magic year LOL
Dara Dokas says
I love seeing the progression of Santa photos! I especially like your sons varied faces. LOL! I’m so happy you kept the crying ones, as well as, the happy ones. You and your kids will have so much fun looking back at these!
momtaxijulie says
