"Pictures with Santa" - Goshorn Style

Can you guess what style that is?

I am one of "those" moms...I don't care what condition my child is in, they are getting a picture with Santa. PERIOD. Jack will tell you - begrudgingly - "It's tradition." Judge if you must - but I have one heck of a "Pictures with Santa" collection. And, although I have been told my Santa is scary-looking (year #2 on up) I am very happy I have the same Santa for all my kids. They associate their fear with the same face.

2004 - Jack at 3 months. The most boring of the collection - too traditional. But cute, nonetheless.


2005 - Jack at 15 months, Will at 3 months. One of my faves...and a glimpse at years to come.


2006 - Jack 2, Will 15 months. Not much has changed, except Will decided to be awake. The shirts say "I heart Santa." Uh-huh.


2007 - Jack 3, Will 2. Notice a not-expecting-to-be-in-the-picture Mom and Dad. Role reversal for the boys...although Jack is hangin' on by a thread.


2008 - Jack 4, Will 3 and Brooke 6 months. I was actually a little disappointed no one was screaming. With the exception of the gum in Will's mouth (total bribe tactic) this picture was normal. Boring.


2009 - Jack 5, Will 4 and Brooke 18 months. Ahhh...back to Goshorn-normal. Jack looks panicked, Will looks ornery, and Brooke screamed her head off. Gotta love it!

Ho-ho-ho!
