Santa Baby

Today our neighborhood had its annual visit from Santa.  We got dressed in our holiday gear and headed off to the clubhouse to have the triplet's pictures made.  When we got there, there were about 25 other families in front of us which isn't too bad.  We had to wait about 45 minutes but they had plenty of food and drinks.  The kids snacked on mini muffins and chocolate chip cookies while we waited.  Lucas instantly wanted to go socialize with the other children.  Sarah and Jacob were content to hang with us.  When it was finally our turn to see Santa, Sarah was afraid and started crying.  Then Jake started crying.  I think the two of them are starting a "fear of strangers" phase.  Lucas was cool as could be and just chatted with the big guy.  After bribing Sarah and Jake with bites of a cookie they settled down for a few pictures.  But we never got a really good one of them looking at the camera.  That is always a challenge!  Oh well, maybe next year!
