For those of you who still haven't been to see Santa, pure jealousy will occur when reading the following message.

We have had the big score of Santa pictures. The Fashion Island Mall in Newport Beach had a great Santa and hardly any waiting! Last year we stood in line for almost 2 hours and that's with taking the girls late to school so we could get there early! So, I thought, if there was no line when we got to the mall, we would go for it. We arrived at 5:45 p.m. and Santa was due back from feeding his reindeer at 6:00 p.m. In line in front of us was a family of 4. SCORE!! My momma didn't raise no fool so we hopped in line. While we waited our mere 15 minutes, we got to see the 2nd largest real Christmas tree in the USA. It was so tall and amazingly beautiful. http://www.shopfashionisland.com/CenterEvent/922.aspx

When we got in to see Santa, Lewis was a little fussy but the picture still looked ok, even with his almost crying face. Then Santa said, "Hey lets try again, this little guy is calming down and happy now." Yes, Santa himself, suggested another try for a better photo and feast your eyes on the fabuloso finished product!! Isn't it great?!!!

Thank you Santa. Mary and Helen had been swimming all day and their eyes are a little on the bloodshot red side but other than that, perfection. I am soooooo pleased with this picture, all 4 children smiling and looking forward, it's a Christmas Miracle!
