Today we dressed the kids up and sent them off for sausages, pancakes, juice and a seat on an old guy's lap.
The Methodist Men always serve up a great breakfast with awesome service.
We had gotten there really early, so the elf/kid ratio was something like 3 to 1.
Lennon and Katharine had the longest lists, and Lukas's only ended up being around three items. He has offered up a lot of restraint this year, which makes it challenging when his birthday and Christmas are only ten days apart.
The big payoff picture was interesting, and I present it un-Photoshoped so that you can see it in its true glory.
Santa and Katharine are looking at the camera, but the four other kids are all checking out Iria off to the side (who must have been doing some pretty wild hand waving routine based on their expressions). Keira is playing the recurring role of "terrified kid", and either the print was off or they were using some Photoshop filter that made the film look like it was shot in the 70's.
But these are the pictures you always cherish, so they either need to come out really good or really strange to be truly memorable.
I shot a few more pictures afterwards because the kids actually did look really nice today, and I didn't want the above picture to be the only memory of it.
