Visits to Santa over the years

For 6 or 7 years we have been going to Galveston Island to the Moody Gardens Festival of Lights. For the last 5 years we have made it a tradition to get the kids pictures with Santa. Tyler and Zack are pictured here in 2004 with Santa. Emily refused to participate.

In 2005 apparently we did not take a picture but as you can see in 2006 we continued the tradition with Zachary not wanting to participate.

In and 2007 everyone was in the picture and somewhat happy. 2008 We are back to missing a child because Claire didn't want anything to do with Santa.
So this year 2009 everyone is happy or at least learned how to fake it. Tyler gave Zachary tips on how to smile.
This is John, Stephani's husband. She is too busy today to post, and since I came home early to help her out, this falls under that responsibility.
PS This is Stephani I had to fix John's post because he had the pictures out of order, bless his heart he tries so hard. I am a little bit sad about this years picture because they didn't include Rudolph the Satanic Reindeer like they did in the previous years. The pictures just are the same without him.

That cracks me up about the reindeer. I did not even notice it until you said something and now I cannot stop laughing!

I know isn't that funny. Why would you have a reindeer that looks like it is going to jump the gate and attack the kids before condeming their souls for eternity hanging out with Santa. He was there this year he just didn't make the picture.

Those reindeer in the back are a bit weird looking.
