on the ninth day of christmas...

we were supposed to be riding the trains

at Bright Nights in Stanley Park

but this mommy forgot to purchase tickets way in advance

and there wasn't anymore left to purchase online.

so instead of being outdoors on a super cold December evening

we opted to stay indoors with the kids to finish up our Christmas shopping

and to finally get a chance to see.....

SANTA!!!

dylan went right up to the big man himself

and told him that he wanted some play dough for christmas
(good thing this mommy has purchased just that!)

and when kaelan's turn came, i was a little afraid

that he might cry for his photos and not want to be with santa

but the moment we put him on santa's lap

he took one look at the man and started smiling and laughing!

I SIMPLY LOVE IT!

have you had your santa photos done yet?
