The Lawry kids meet Santa!

Tonight I convinced Andy and my sister to take all the kids to see Santa and then go to dinner afterwards... Well, Santa was more of a success than I expected, but the entire evening was about what I expected with some crying, some temper tantrums and some stubbornness (mostly by the kids :-)). Because Santa wasn't quite ready for us, we walked around the mall a bit and stopped by Barnes and Noble. The girls trashed the store and Declan whined the whole time, so we didn't stay long. Santa was ready for us by then and here was the result... Oh and Declan asked Santa "for a million Dollars" - so we should be good this Christmas :-)

L to R: Aven, Stevie (clearly not happy with sitting on Santa's lap) and Bria...

I especially like this one because Declan is plugging his ears - the whole experience was pretty hilarious...
