Like any good parents do we went out this weekend, waited in 30 degree weather, ate candy canes and took a number to be seen the big red guy himself. Yes, that would be Santa. The following picture was taken at the beginning of the "Santa Trip." Key word is "Beginning." Notice how excited they all are. And yes, this is how Isaac smiles now. (His eyes are closed and all of his teeth are showing!)
A close up of Isaac and his new found smile.
Sydney styling in my stocking hat!
And Jordan posing as well.
And after waiting for about an hour outside and then figuring out that our number wouldn't come up for about 3 hours we left, got some Christmas shopping done, and made our way back for our turn to see "Santa." Yes, everyone was excited; however, I don't think everyone knew what was in store. And when I say everyone I mean Sydney. She was not the least bit interested in actually going up and seeing Mr. Clause or Mrs. Clause. (As you can see from the following picture.)
Yes, Sydney is screaming and yelling as Patrick is attempting to set her on Mrs. Clause's lap. I have to say, it was pretty funny from where I was sitting.

And I do have to say in her defense, she was right, she did have a kicker. So this is definitely a picture for the baby book. Also, notice how completely unbothered Isaac and Jordan are by Sydney screaming as if someone is abducting her. That also makes this video kind of funny. O' what fun we had this weekend! We hope all of you are enjoying the holiday season thus far as much as we are (except for maybe Sydney of course!)
Love Ya and God Bless, Tara G.

The funny thing about that video is that you can totally tell Sydney is screaming but you can't hear her at all. So cute. At least you got two kids on Santa's lap. I wouldn't have luck with any of my kiddos!
Julia and I loved the photo's of our angels with Santa, and Sydney remided us of Patrick when he saw Santa the first time it took him a good while and lots of explanation to warm up to Santa. Of course we know Patrick always wants the whole story before he makes up his mind. Thanks for sharing the beautiful memories. Luv Y'all!!!
Tara, Mayumi was scared too! She didn't get a chance to kick and scream because she was holding on to me real tight. And when we ask her if she asked Santa for her gift - she would have this "look" of mixed remorse and dread and starts looking down. She now has devised a way to tell Santa what she wants by asking her Big brother to tell Santa instead of her.
