I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We sure did. I didn’t mean to keep you all in suspense so long waiting for the posting of my favorite photo of Tanner and Santa. I used this photo on our Christmas card, so I wanted to be sure that everyone received their card before I posted it. We were very late in sending out our cards this year, hence the late posting of the photo. Here it is…

This was the photo I was hoping to get when I hired Santa back in April. That brings me to the story of how I “found” Santa. We had a garage sale in April. As we were standing around the garage hoping all of our junk would find new homes, Santa walks up our driveway. I start elbowing my husband, “That’s Santa.” My husband didn’t recognize Santa in his street clothes, so I asked this man “Are you Santa?” Of course, he was Santa and he said he would be happy to come over for photos. How lucky are we? Plus, some of our junk found a new home at Santa’s house. Bonus!
Santa now has a website where he’s posted some of my favorite photos from our Santa sessions. His site is www.topekasanta.com Thank you to all of you who participated in the Santa sessions. We had such a great time! Santa will be back next year, so be sure to mark your calendars for the two weekends after Thanksgiving. (Yes, we’ve already added another weekend because so many people have indiciated their interest in the sessions! THANKS!)
