One of our family traditions is to go visit Santa at Shady Oaks Country Club and have brunch with family and friends. Santa and Mrs. Claus ride up in a horse-drawn carriage and all the kids patiently await their arrival. Then everyone sits on Santa's lap and tells him what they want for Christmas. For the record, Braxton calls it Chris-a-miss... which is so cute. This year he asked Santa for a dump truck. Go figure! And Emma asked for princess things in a box! It is so cute to see all the different reactions from children of all ages...
Here is Braxton on Santa's lap when he was 6 months old... precious baby boy:)
