The Official Santa Photo
Nordstrom’s sent us the “official” photo of Murrow and Santa. Not too shabby, better than poppa’s quick camera-phone images…although Murrow looks old and wrinkly.
Next year, hopefully we’ll remember to get reservations for the Santa, rather than waiting in line for another 3 hours. But if he enjoys the process as much as this year, maybe we’ll just pack up a thermos of hot chocolate and have some fun.


if you want i can just bring our santa suit out (my dad’s old one) and you can have a friend dress up. then you can send it back when you’re done. unless you like the mall thing…

Did Jeff ever mention that I used to be a Santa-for-hire when I was in High School? A friend’s mom had a Santa suit and I’d go to office parties or gift exchanges and let people sit on my lap. I’m sure I was very believable.
