Photo with Santa

I know, it's not even December yet and the kids have already taken their Christmas photo with Santa.  Are we those crazy people?!?  Well, quite possibly.  Both Helaina and Zachary are at a wonderful age and this season is nothing but pure magic for the two of them.  Tonight was the 4th time we have gone to visit Santa at the mall...waving to him, hugging him, talking about toys, receiving coloring books, and each time, their eyes sparkle just at the sight of him.  Zachary walks around the house humming Christmas carols and his sister has really gotten into our newest holiday tradition "The Elf on the Shelf" (see below), which Helaina has so kindly named him "Peter Pan."  
We'll have plenty more pictures to follow in future posts as the kids continue to keep things interesting around here...they completely took over the tree and decorated it themselves this year.  It's hideous (and the control freak in me is still adjusting), but Aunt Abla invested in some unbreakable ornaments, so I thought why not let them enjoy the tradition without worry.
Best Christmas picture yet!!! Love, love, love their precious smiles.
