Snow Fun Torture

Well today we had our 1st real snow storm!  Funny, its snowed the weekend of the 20th…for the last three years!

Patrick and I ventured out to play in the snow for a photo opportunity.  To say that he was less then pleased is an understatement!

A visit with Santa

Today we went to visit Santa at the Burlington Mall. We knew our chances of getting a good picture with Santa weren’t very high…but its the thing to do!

I thought Patrick would be fine sitting on some strange man’s lap Santa’s lap. So I sat him down first…boy was I wrong. Once Patrick started screaming it didn’t leave much hope for Kate!
