Since my mom retired earlier this year, we weren’t able to take advantage of the free Santa photos at her company’s holiday party. We’ve been so busy since June arrived that I really thought we’d miss out on Santa this year. However, my brother Andy offered to take the kids to get their photos taken with Santa while I had a doctor’s appointment in Seattle one day. He had taken Drew to see the Santa last year as well so this year, we decided to make it an official tradition – Uncle Andy will take the kids to see Santa each year.

The Santa isn’t as good as the one from last year but we do love the set up at the University Village location.

No tears and a fist pump – I’ll take it!
