Taa-Dahhh! Presenting the 2012 Bramell kids photo with Santa. Yeah, pretty much a spot-on wordless description of my children. In case you need the interpretation--
Big Sis: "I'm only here because I left something off my letter that I already mailed."
Girl Twin: "Just give me the candy cane, dammit."
Boy Twin: "I wonder if I can climb up there?"
Seriously, we waited in line for the mall Santa for about 45 minutes. For this. You only get one photo with your own camera, and I sure wasn't going to buy their overpriced photo packages to get 65 copies of THIS. Actually, I'm quite pleased with the overall experience. Nobody cried, the little ones sat in his lap and both even talked to him and nobody cried.
Every year, I have such high hopes for a beautiful Santa photo. After five years of Big Sis not wanting anything to do with Santa, you'd think I would just give up. We have one good photo of Big Sis with Santa. And it's not really even very good. It's just not worth the struggle. Maybe next year...
