Here's a quick peek at our 2020 card--I love how it turned out this year!
And we actually had two separate Santa visits/pictures this year, but only because I thought we lost the first picture. ;) We almost always take the kids to a mall Santa for our annual picture, but we opted for Bass Pro this year as we had heard masks weren't required at Bass Pro & I really didn't want masks in our picture. So off to Bass Pro we went! But then when I went to display our picture, it was nowhere to be found. That same night, free Santa pictures were being offered in Old Town Helotes..so off we went for picture #2. And then the very next morning, we found picture #1 again, ha! But I think it was such a happy accident that it all worked out this way. Our first Santa visit to Bass Pro was super efficient--we literally walked into the store and had our picture in our hand in less than five minutes. There was absolutely no line, but it just didn't feel special. With the plexiglass wall, Santa didn't even say hello to the kids. Our second Santa soiree started out with a bad attitude on my part--I couldn't believe we had lost our original Santa picture! But it ended up being such a sweet little family night for us. We happily waited in line for our turn and got to see everyone decked out in their Christmas outfits & Old Town was all lit up in Christmas lights. And the Santa in Old Town was just the sweetest. He told our kids the reindeer were busy playing reindeer games at the North Pole & that Brady looked just like one of his elves named Bobby! They got such a kick out of that! Then we drove around Helotes looking at lights and listening to Christmas carols while the kids ate their candy canes from Santa.
Annual Christmas cards & Santa pictures are two of my favorite traditions! Thankful for another year of sweet memories.
