Saturday was our big outing to see Mr. Claus himself. We waited until the little guys were up from their naps, thinking this would be the optimal time to force them to have their pictures taken with a complete stranger. I had all the kiddos dress in Christmas colors hoping to get an awesome picture of them together. I knew there were going to be specific spots just for that unique family picture! We found the lighted Christmas trees right away, and thought this might be great for a background. I also thought it might be a good thing to get some pictures out of the way in case Santa scared them to tears. Our boys, acting as if they had been locked up in cages for weeks, would not sit still long enough for me to snap a decent photo for the life of me. I still do not know why I get my hopes up hoping for a picture with all our children. Or at least a picture with all of our children sitting and looking at the camera. Is that too much to ask?? People keep asking us when our next family picture is coming out. I honestly don't know! I suppose I could staple the boys to the floor and pull their faces back with tape in order to get a smile from them, then fill in with the girls...there, a Morrison family photo! Anyway, I took three or four quick pictures by trees, and a few more in a sleigh before calling it quits. I knew Santa was waiting for us and we needed to hurry over! I was surprised how little the boys payed him any attention. They blew right by him and hustled over to a couple of chairs to climb on, so Addy went first. She was very nervous. Addysen was rubbing her hands back and forth, speaking very quietly, and looked as pale as a ghost. She did not cry though and she did manage to eek out a few things on her list. Apryl and Lexy did just fine like I knew they would. Apryl had a list fit for the child of a CEO! Then came time for the boys to visit Santa. They were not too cooperative...go figure! Santa was very patient and even tried to help settle them. All I really wanted was a picture of their first time with Santa, and I did get that, albeit they were wrestling to get away. Maybe next year they will be a little more willing to pose with their siblings and let mommy get some pictures?!? I should ask Santa for that!
