Last weekend Santa arrived at a number of local malls. The one closest to us was offering free Reindeer Webkinz to the first 200 children to visit with him as well as three dollars off picture prices. It seemed like a good opportunity to continue a tradition and, as my children love Webkinz, a nice chance to get another code to play for another year.
As usual, getting all four children to smile and look at the right place at the same time was a challenge, but the photos we paid for turned out pretty nice and they were nice enough to let me take a few myself as well. I don't think they let you if you aren't already buying a package.
This is the same mall we usually go to. I like the continuity of the Santa in the pictures from year to year.
To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don’t post random photos that you find online. This is hosted by Alyce at At Home With Books. You can view the list of participating blogs on her site.
I don't think we ever did a photo with snapshot. I'm sure you'll be glad you have it. The kids are adorable. I kind of wish Santa would wait until Thanksgiving, but I'm a traditionalist. Here's My Saturday Snapshot
ReplyDeleteSanta already?! Pretty soon Santa is going to be coming to town in June :) Great photos!
ReplyDeleteI love these! That reminds me of the Santa's Sleigh that shows up in our neighborhood mall. I have one picture of grandkids taken in it from a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteTime to dust it off!
Here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT and
MY WEBSITE
I am not ready for Christmas stuff yet! But I bet the kids are already gearing up. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Snapshot
Wow, I don't know if Santa has arrived here or not. It looks like you got some great photos with all 4 kids.
ReplyDeleteAh, seeing Santa and so many happy kids makes Christmas visits to the mall fun. :)
ReplyDeleteOh so sweet! You reminded me of the pics my boys had with Santa when they were young.
ReplyDeleteGosh, that's early! The shops here are getting ready for Christmas - but no Santas yet.
ReplyDeleteThat is so early in the year for Santa, but my kids would have been begging for those webkinz!
ReplyDeleteLove this! A gorgeous Christmas photo! I'm so impressed that nobody is crying or even frowning...and they're all smiling in the last photo! What great children!
ReplyDelete(It always seems in photos with Santa kids get upset or scared?
Cute photos. I remember my mom trying to get me to sit with Santa... at the bank I think... way back when. You know, when they only gave you a black and white photo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. We share the same tradition.
ReplyDeleteI love red colors-festive.
I love Santa photos. Your kids are adorable.
ReplyDeleteLiving in FL, it's almost easy to lost sight of the seasons. Yow, Christmas is that close! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteCute Santa photo. And getting four kids to all look in the same direction at the same time is always hard :-)
ReplyDeleteGood pictures. We did some of those when our children were small. Next, the grandchildren on Santa's lap, but not this year yet.
ReplyDeleteVery very cute, but I do not like Santa showing up before Thanksgiving. JMO
ReplyDeleteThese photos make me want to be a kid again!
ReplyDeleteIsn't there any way I can time-warp myself back to such a wondrous age? [I just had the funniest thought -- OK, so the time warp works but it keeps me at the same size I am today and I bound up onto Santa's lap and break his leg! Wait a minute.... what's so funny about that? Poor Santa.]
