magic

These Santa pictures are such a treasure to me. I have loved this tradition. We drove 8 hours to get these this year. I love that my house is filled with these special pictures. Thanks Sandy Puc and her crew who creates this magic every year.

The first year...Presley just turned 1! (she was born 3 weeks late for her first Santa pictures as these are taken before Thanksgiving.) I think I might need to order the picture of her crying while sitting on Santa's Lap..

                   Santa 2010- Colorado Christmas Theme

She has no idea he is behind her! 

The tears came right after this picture!

                       Santa 2011 - White Christmas Theme
                       Presley almost 2 and Crew is 3 months

Presley did not want to sit on his lap but would stand by him!

2012- We moved to Utah and did not go back for pictures...Sad                        

Santa 2013- Santa's Workshop Theme

We made the trip this year. So glad we did. I wanted the bald head documented in Santa pictures! Is it weird that I don't even notice or think it looks weird. No hair..we don't care. She's a doll to us!

Presley is almost 4 and Crew is 2! 

After sitting on Santa's lap Crew still will say "No Santa"!

They have no idea Santa is behind them. Man they are good to get these great pictures!

They capture those moments perfectly. The looking up at Santa, the crying, the happiness and that Santa magic. These Santa pictures are also a charity event. Sandy donates the session fee to The Children's Hospital. We LOVE that...helping other children in our same situation. Did you notice its the same Santa every year. He is so sweet with the kids! He changes his outfit for the different themes. I'm already thinking about what we will do next year!!! Maybe a big Santa bag with our name on it looking for gifts... maybe the kids could be elves or in their jammies??? Maybe next year they will let Santa read them a story?? Can you tell I treasure these. Thanks Sandy Puc for helping me feel this year with this tradition!
