Santa...

Tuesday night we made our annual trip to Bass Pro Shop with the Williams family and the Wright family to see Santa Claus. Our children are getting older so we anticipated that maybe they would sit on Santa's lap but no such luck other than Cooper who doesn't really care who holds him. And Anna Lauren even told me she was going to sit on his lap so I was a little surprised she didn't, but o'well, we can mark that "to do" off the list until next year...

As close as Anna Lauren got to Santa...last year she did at least tell him what she wanted but not this year. She had NOTHING to do with him.

Cooper thought Santa was "ok"...probably just happy to be out of his stroller and being held by someone / anyone...poor baby!

We did attempt a family photo since Anna Lauren would not sit with Cooper in Santa's lap...now if you think these are bad, you should see the ones Bass Pro took...they will bring great laughs when Anna Lauren and Cooper are older!

This picture makes me laugh out loud because it is so typical of us when we are all together...just crazy...people always look at us like we are NUTS...I swear Billy is going to quit going places with us.

The Wrights...of course they are PERFECT! Ann Hardie is not smiling but still...how sweet are they?

Daddy thought Cooper should shoot the gun...and the lady beside them is of course looking at us like we are NUTS...I told you!

Matt was proud of his "catch"...
