Here is how my night went last night: me, my brother Mark and my 4 kids went to the mall to see Santa. On the drive to the mall I made Luke and Claire switch seats (while stopped at a red light of course) to stop the boys from fighting. Then while waiting in line it was a full on wrestling match between the boys (on the ground), Sophie successfully made it to 3 stores and inside the Santa part to jump in the fake snow before it was our turn. I made both boys sit in different "corners" while in line to separate them and I'm sure every person around me thought I was CRAZY!!! All the while Claire was quietly playing on my phone. But I was determined to get pictures with Santa so we kept on going through all the chaos. Then we got up to Santa and it was magic all 4 kids smiled at the same time (so worth the work when I look at that picture) and from that point on were well behaved. We went to dinner, did a little shopping and Luke got his haircut without any more craziness. Thank you Santa for calming my kids down....too bad you aren't at my house before bed.

loving the new photos.
One of these days I am going to fork over the cash to have some done.
Maybe when Abigail gets married. :)
I think that Santa must have given your kids a talkin to that they better watch out. LOL.
I was just thinking yesterday how I love having Christmas presents to loom over my kids' heads for good behavior.
