Santa: Back on the good list

We have taken a 2-year break from Santa after our traumatic Santa encounter in 2008 at the botanical gardens. Here's a refresher:

Emily and I took our kids to a Christmas event today at the children's library, but unfortunately the line was way too long for us to wait with four kids for "shopping with elves." Instead, we headed for the much shorter line for Santa pictures, with some hesitation. Thankfully Molly seems to have forgotten her previous distaste for Santa, and she hopped right into this kindly man's lap.

It probably helped that I told the kids I would take them out for pizza if they were nice to Santa and smiled at the camera. Molly told Santa she wanted a butterfly and a zebra, and Josh wants a light saber.

Waiting in line, deciding if he's going to be naughty or nice
