the Santa saga

Ive been procrastinating for the last week about taking the boys to get a photo with Santa. This morning I bit the bullet and decided it was today or never! I wasnt quite mad enough to head down to TTP so I went for a large local shopping centre at Mt Barker. I arrived and went to check the sign as to times etc only to find that the last time Santa was there was on Thursday 21st Dec - what the!!!! Hence Santa photo take 1.....




Well I had to get something!!! and the cute photo of Shazzs neice jumped into my head when I saw that big empty seat!!!











Off we went to do the last minute shopping etc. The boys - bribed by the promise of McDonalds for lunch - were really good. As we were about to leave who should be sitting outside of Coles on one of the benches but the jolly man himself! We got a Merry Christmas as we walked past and kept going. It got the better of me though and I went back to ask if I could get a photo of Isaac sitting on his knee. He was a lovely old Santa and offered to go down the other end of the centre and sit on the chair and have photos! Santa photo take 2....

I wasnt sure how Isaac would react, but he didnt even blink an eye! He sat and smiled and played around while I got a couple of photos, and the other two even agreed to get in there for a photo - as long as they didnt have to sit on his knee LOL.

















Well thats one more thing ticked off the to do list lol More pressies to wrap tomorrow while the boys attennd a practice for the Christmas Eve service at our church. All the kids present a nativity play and basically run most of the service on Christmas Eve. The boys love being involved!
