Christmas Portrait Time - The Real Story

So much excitement this Christmas, but mostly undocumented and not many photos to share, except for my quick attempts at Christmas portraits. I've realized that it's only on special occasions that everyone is looking somewhat picture-worthy so we are in the habit of trying for a portrait right before we head out to our destination -- with hopes we get one and if not, just some memories captured. I love what we got here -- craziness and all!

We tried hard but could not get Lukas to wear that cute hat!

Breakfast with Santa

A long but memorable morning with our four munchkins. Austin was intent on telling Santa his list, while Tyler was more interested in Santa's personal history -- how old he is (66 apparently) and more. Madeline wasn't a fan, and Lukas reacted like Tyler did so many years ago, completely snuggling into santa and analyzing him with ease -- which surprised me since Lukas has been know to have some good stranger danger in the past.
