We decided to take Thea to see Santa this year for some pictures. Mostly, we are sadistic and thought that she would cry and it would make for a funny Christmas card. So, our first trip was to Crown Center after Campbell's birthday. Two words - pure torture. Littered amongst the holiday decorations were out of town derps, pedophiles, and lots of those beaten down dads that push the stroller wearing a santa hat sipping on a gingerbread latte. We couldn't get out of there fast enough. Tonight we put Thea in her Christmas outfit and headed out to Town Center. There was no line, the santa wasn't a creep....it looked like it would be easy. Thea's reaction wasn't what we had hoped (we are sick). She was pretty stoic, no crying at all. She did look really cute in her outfit. Needless to say, we walked out of there with 2 crappy pictures spending over $50. Marc almost got into a fight with the rude Johnson County snotty teenagers working there. And they put our last name as "Felvin" on the picture. I think it was on purpose. What ever happened to a good ol free visit to Santa's lap at the mall? Lord. I'd post a picture, but then you wouldn't be surprised when you get our Christmas Card. I gotta get something out of this for 50 bucks. : )
