➹ That's a unicorn Dream Lite in Santa's bag. I gotcha covered, Santa! ➹
We left this morning for Bass Pro Shops...it's our favorite place to go to see Santa for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, the pictures are free {and we don't mind that they plop the logo right in the corner of the picture, that's easy enough to crop out}. But, what we really like are all of the activities that they have for the kids {and adults} to do while you wait. They have a carousel, crafts, coloring, train sets, bow & arrows, and {lots of} photo ops.

Thankfully, my parents waited in the line for about an hour {the biggest drawback} while we entertained the girls, and then we just took them up when they were only a few people back. Olivia did awesome -- she gave Santa her picture {and he loved it} and she snuggled up with him while she sat on his lap.
We thought that maybe when Sydney saw Olivia up on Santa's lap she would be okay with sitting up there too, but that definitely did not happen. She cried. And she wanted down. And the back of David's head is in the free photo. But, it's priceless and I love it anyway.
Mom and Dad wanted one with the girls, so we eventually coaxed Sydney into Poppy's arms for one more picture.
I haven't scanned the ones they gave us, but this post is already picture heavy so I'll save it for another day. After all of the pictures were taken, we headed over to the restaurant for some fish & chips. And, of course, my little model wanted a couple other pictures taken. So, here ya go.
