Bass Pro Shop

Last night we met up with Megan, Scott and Hadley at Bass Pro Shop for pictures with Santa.  When we got there at 6:00 pm there were no passes left for the night.  We were headed for the door when a very nice man gave us his pass after claiming his kids didn't want to wait.  Thank you very nice man.  You saved the day. 

I'll be glad when Spencer outgrows this cheesy grin thing he is doing.

Bass Pro Shop gives you a free 4 x 6 print, but the ones that Scott took were just as good as the "professional" shot.  Plus we all know how lazy I am when it comes to scanning.
This year's Santa was quite jolly and authentic looking, but he still had nothing on last year's Santa.  That guy was the real deal.
I'm not complaining though, because we all remember this debacle from last week.  I'll take slightly less rosy cheeks over nicotine beard any day.
Hadley, being 16 months and all, would have nothing to do with Santa.  Next year, baby, next year.
We took another family picture, because that is what we did last year.  I think most of the decisions in our lives (all of us, not just our little family) are based on what we did last year and the year before or what we did yesterday and last week and last month.  We just like sameness and habit.


Spencer is way happier in 2010.  My hair looked better in 2009.  You win some and you lose some.

Bass Pro Shop Santa is definitely jolly and clean looking. However, nappy Santa is hilarious. I think he's my favorite just because he's funny.

What a nice man you encountered! Don't forget to pay it forward :)

That's another great thing about Bass Pro, they're not mean and allow you to also take your own pictures.
