Ho Ho Ho!

A few days ago we went to the mall for Nick's 3rd birthday and our annual family photos. While we were waiting for the proofs to be ready, we made our first attempt to head down "Santa Clause Lane."

That attempt didn't go very well . . . and almost required a diaper change on Nick's part.

So, we walked around some more. We had about 10 minutes left before our proofs were ready, and John decided we should give it "one more" try!

This time, I hung back with the stroller, so Mommy was out of sight, and Daddy went up with Nick. It wasn't perfect, but here's how it looked from MY point of view.

Sweet!! How did you manage to sneak photos? I always want to but am never gutsy enough. :)

Hey, there are NO tears. In my book, that's 100% success!

Want to see you post that family photo when you get a chance.

I'm starting to think that is the real Santa as he is in everyone's pictures. Hope you are having a great Christmas season.

Good job Nick! I wanted to take my own picture when the kids went to see him, but they wouldn't let me.

Julie ... I don't think anyone knew I'd taken the photos. The photographer stepped away to assist a customer. I was hiding behind the pillar so Nick wouldn't see me, and just whipped out my camera, ZOOMED in, and got what I got really quickly. Just a bit of holiday luck!

At Clackamas Town Center, the photographers actually stepped aside to let Ryan take the photos! Just good info. for next year... Yay Nick!
