Santa....through the years

While we were in Dallas over Thanksgiving, we made our way up to Allen to have the girls' picture made with our favorite Santa.


You may remember, that last year we were a little disappointed when we got to Stonebriar Mall and our favorite Santa had been replaced. So, we were happy to find him this year!


Especially Korley. She quickly told him she wanted skates, and then as any good three-year-old would do, she figuratively put him on the witness stand and asked a round of questions.


What's on your face? Why do you have a beard? Why is it white? What are you doing here? Where are the reindeer? Are the reindeer pooping?--Everything we've ever wanted to ask Santa.

And, as I often enjoy doing--here is a trip down memory lane.....

Too Cute! Love the new design! I keep thinking I want to change mine, but then I wonder what I would change it to.

Very cute pictures. The Santa at the Lubbock Mall is much better this year, but your guy is very authentic!

Love the new look. Makes me want one!

I'm laughing right now. We tried to see Santa in Allen, and that's where we got turned down. So we ended up with your unfavorite Santa. Boo! Love the new design, and the girl's pictures are so cute!
