Are you Santa?

A few days ago, after our 1st attempt at getting a family picture done this year, Brad and I took our boys to visit Santa. Bradley walked up to Santa, with hands on his hips. Bradley looked at Santa for a brief moment then asked;
"Are you Santa?" The man dressed in his red Santa suit, with his real beard smiled and responded;
"Yes, I am Santa Clause".
Bradley quickly replied back;
"I need a camera, a big one, and a REAL one!" Bradley then started walking away, but Santa tried to make more conversation with him. Bradley did talk a bit, but not much. It just really made me laugh when Bradley made sure he was talking to Santa before telling him how he wants a real camera! The lady taking photo's laughed as well.

Parker didn't want to go near Santa, and stayed at a distance and just glared at him. I did try to get Parker to go say hi, but he would whimper and back away.

Dustin, sat on Santa's lap and was memorized by his beard. He just stared at Santa, and this was a good Santa! Santa talked to Dustin, and was making him smile. I honestly think this was one of the best mall Santa's I've come across. I know that must be a stressful job at times, dealing with screaming kids, and rotten ones too.

I am starting to get really excited about Christmas this year. Now that Bradley, and Parker are both older, it should be so much fun! Bradley and Parker are both insistent on getting a camera "like mommy's" for Christmas. I have been searching for a digital camera with a preview screen, that is decent, for $55 or less.
I'm always taking pictures, and Bradley and Parker want to be like me with pictures! Bradley knows how to operate my Sony power shot 10 mega pix camera, so I am hoping to get him a camera that has about 5 mega pix and easy to operate. I just hope I am successful at finding one. Bradley, and Parker both have their hopes set on these camera's. I have read about the kids cams and all of them have bad reviews. So, I rather just spend the money and get them real digital camera's that are decent, that they can enjoy and take fairly good quality pictures with.

Well, I've rambled on enough for today..
