Noone cried or even pouted for our annual pictures with Santa. I guess that means that each of the kids will only have one crying-on-Santa's-lap photo. I really thought Elena would freak out again this year, but she fed off of Elias' excitement. Elias told Santa that he would be happy with whatever Mommy and Daddy got him. But that, when he is seven, he would like an ipod. Elena told him that she wants H-E-B Buddy Bucks. (dollars that they give kids at the grocery store. then the kids put them in a crane machine and win a ball with a sticker on it. they keep the stickers in a book and can "buy" things when it gets full. actually, Elena is just excited about the stickers. about half the time, the stickers don't even make it to the book. needless to say, she has never redeemed them for anything.)
Here they are, along with previous years so we can all ooh and aah over how much they have grown...

(different Santa because I was pregnant with Elena and had a PICC line, so we decided to go to a mall that was a little closer to home)

I love these pictures! Thanks for sharing. I have some of the girls when Jim was being Santa's helper and even though it is Jim, Hannah is sitting as far to the edge of his lap as she can and looking at him like he is the last person in the world she can trust. Very classic. :)
