Christmas Card and Santa Photos

We are never sure how our Santa photo at the mall experience will go. Mary Joyce is fine with it. Katherine, on the other hand... The first year she was too little to know any different. Last year, she was screaming in the picture. This year, the tears tried to come, and then she just became very determined that she was NOT going for this whole scenario. Thankfully, there was a great photographer's assistant who made it her job to get Katherine to smile, and finally, she did. No, she is not looking at the camera, nor is she interacting with Santa, but she is relatively close to Santa and smiling. Malcom did great for his first time. He was inspecting Santa's [very real] beard, and seemed to be calculating how much of it he could grab in one swipe.



Since we moved here, we have wanted to do a Christmas card photo on the beach. Our first attempt, a few years ago, was a rather hilarious failure. This year, we decided to make it a family photo and have my sister take it while she was in town for Thanksgiving. It actually turned out rather well. :-)
