Meeting Santa

My kids have been talking about meeting Santa for weeks, and trying to figure out what to tell him they want. Finally the day arrived and we headed to the mall after picking Dallin up from school. I was worried about Liam being afraid of him. While we were in line Liam was cranky, which was not a good sign, but Dallin and Aubs were super excited...until we were next in line and Aubrey's meltdown started. When it was our turn Liam walked right on up to Santa and sat on his lap. Aubrey calmed down with the promise of ice cream later and agreed to sit next to Santa. And of course while Dallin had no problem talking Santa's ear off, telling him he wants his own computer, and Leapster 2, and something else I can't remember right now. So it ended up being a success other than Liam refusing to smile, and not having any socks on (he got them wet earlier and I didn't have an extra pair).

On the way home I spotted a neighbors house with tons of pretty leaves and decided to do a little photo shoot since my kids rarely look this nice. Here are the results. These haven't been doctored, but if anyone wants to improve them with photoshop and send me the results, that would be awesome. I'm photoshop illiterate.

And of course I had to add this first one because of Liam.

I LOVE those last 3 pics! I can't believe you got all 3 of them to smile. I can barely get one of mine to smile AND look at the camera at the same time. Sigh.
