Saturday we woke up to a snowstorm!

We also decided that since this isn't unusual weather, we were not going to cancel our plans. We loaded up, joined the other crazies on the road, and made it to the mall in one piece - to see Santa Clause! When we got there we joined the other 6 families in what was called "Breakfast with Santa". I had no idea that was going on and it was great. We got food to feed our crabby kids (the car ride wasn't pleasant for anyone) while they got to watch and interact with Santa before sitting with him for their picture. Look at how well the picture turned out.

They used jingle bells to get the kids' attention. They certainly worked at having the kids look in the right direction, but since both of the kids are currently infatuated with musical instruments there was no getting them to smile while watching the jingle bells. Oh well, I think it still turned out pretty gosh darn cute!
