"But Santa didn't say Ho, Ho, Ho, Mama"

I drove to Nashville with the boys last week to see Santa Claus. I had no illusions of Joshua sitting happily in a stranger's lap, but I was hoping for just a second of non-crying in which to snap a picture. No luck. Caleb was predictably shy, and wouldn't smile, but at least he sat there. He did tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas ("a panyo, kitar, and drums, that's all"- which is Caleb for a three piece band. I got him the piano already, looks like I have a couple of more things to find before Christmas). And Joshua left his bowtie alone. After the minute long sit on the unresponsive Santa's lap, the boys asked for treats. As you can see below, Joshua wanted his now.

i'm sorry the santa experience wasn't as glorious as you'd hoped. the pics are classic, though. really, you have to have at least one christmas like that, don't you?
as for frosty? please send him my condolences.
The boys' outfits are cute at least. We are going to take Elliott to see Santa next weekend, though I am kind of expecting him to react the same as Joshua...
The outfits look great and sorry about the sad face but like you said to be expected!
Love, Mom
We used to make chocolate candies with my mom at Christmas when I was little. I remember painting the colored chocolate into the grooves. Much fun.
Those 2 are a class act! Love the bow ties!
