The REAL Santa and Mrs. Claus

It wouldn't be Christmas without a visit from Santa and the missus at Butterfield. This was our fourth year...
2007

2009
This year, Will was eager to share his list, which we whittled down to a top-10 (plus "extra stuff").
Ellie, on the other hand, acted like she'd never seen the Clauses before. I suspect it had something to do with Elle's question a couple of nights later: "Do you think Santa knows I'm bad?" Too bad that worry has no reflection on her behavior. :P
Look how much they've grown (while the Clauses don't look a day over... well, they look darned good)!
Apparently the kids knew the Clauses were watching, and after lunch with Grandma and Grandpa and decorating Christmas cookies, they posed for a photo with limited difficulty.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. :)
