Seeing Santa!

Cory and I, along with my parents, and my nephew Tate, took the kids to the mall to see Santa! Gage and Taya know who Santa is. Everytime they see him, his picture, or anything of him, they call out, "Santa!" So we knew they would be excited to see and sit with him!

Before we went, we had dinner at my parent's house. Tate put the antlers on each of the kids and took a picture..so cute!

Then it was off to the mall! While we were waiting in line, Taya and Gage were very interested in playing with the decorations..and Taya got the "snow" in her hair.

Santa time! Please bear with me and actually look at these pictures! I couldn't find my camera so I used Tate's. I assumed his flash was automatic like mine..but it didn't go off..so the pics are dark. They were rushing us so I didn't get a chance to retake anything :( So..Here goes!

Gage alone with Santa..he was just looking up at him.

Taya and Gage with Santa..Taya does this thing when she is shy, she puts the back of her hands against her eyes and that's what she did on his lap but Gage looked out at us and took a picture.

Haylee and Peyton with Santa! Haylee cried for just 2 seconds but Peyton was laughing (I think that's why she stopped crying).

Haylee and Peyton with Santa! Haylee just stared while Peyton laughed and played!

After they all got down from Santa, Taya of course wouldn't stop pointing to him and getting excited!

Then we took a few minutes to play in the play area at the mall. It was their first time and they were excited (we almost lost Taya though when she snuck out of the area and actually ran away from Cory when he was going to get her..she thought she was real funny til she got in time-out!)
