Visiting Santa

We tried to take the kids to see Santa in Colorado with some friends at the mall, and when we got there, they said there was a three hour wait, you couldn't take your own pictures, and you had to order their picture sets...the cheapest one was $17 for 2 3x5s. I called all around because I had promised the kids we would see Santa and Mikelle really wanted to give him the letter she 'wrote' and tell him what she wanted (which was a bike, a mermaid doll, purple hello kitty socks, and lipgloss in case you were wondering), but it was the same thing anywhere I called. Isn't it so sad that it seemed there was no place I could take the kids to see Santa without paying? So we left to Utah and I hoped it would be better there. And it thankfully was. We only had to wait in line for 1 1/2 hours and we got to take our own pictures. Santa was so nice to the kids. He took the time to open and read their letters (probably why it took so long in line) and he gave the kids a sucker. All in all, it was a good trip to the mall and visit to Santa...until next year Mr. Claus!

Waiting in line, don't you love Mikelle's face!
Chuls and Jonah
Santa reading their letters, I was SO surprised Jonah actually sat on his lap with out screaming; and Santa is in his 'toy workshop apparel' in case you were wondering.

Of course Chuls and I had to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what we wanted: which was every season of Smallville and a mini van, I'll let you guess which one of us wanted what.
