Yesterday we continued a 25 year old family tradition- having our family picture taken with Santa. We alway visit the real Santa too, the Santa at Macy’s in downtown Portland.
I must admit my 23 and 25 year old boys did give me a bit of a hard time this year as they stood in line with dozens of children ten and under! But they love their mother and they went along to make me happy.
We made it for 25 years – we’ll see if they’ll give me 26…..
Merry Christmas!
I am sure the boys weren’t thrilled standing in line with kids but the photo is so worth it. It came out great! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
What a fun tradition! I love that your kids were willing to do that for their mama!
What good boys. I hope mine would do that for me when they get older. Mine are 15 and 13 this year
I LOVE it! Great picture, too. Everybody looks happy. (Maybe because they are no longer standing in line?)
That is so sweet!
What a fun tradition!
Great shot! Great tradition! Everyone looks so happy…even Santa!
Merry Christmas to you and your family Leigh Anne!
What a wonderful tradition and great picture! I have enjoyed all the wonderful recipes and Christmas tips. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
What a great picture! So happy that you got to carry out some of your family traditions! Enjoy! enjoy!
So awesome. I have a little Logan, my only at the moment, but I hope for a wonderful family like yours. Thanks for all the wonderful posts, I am being hounded for the brownie recipe as I type:)
Happy day after Christmas…
I just received the sweet little Sweet Sensations basket of goodies. Thanks to both you and Sweet Sensations. I’m sending this on to my granddaughter, who has been working long hours this season, filling in for people out with flu — she’s a nurse who assists with special procedures. She’s deserving of a little pampering this season. Thanks again for hosting give-aways, Leigh Anne…
Happy New Year…to you and your family.
Sorry…Sublime Sensations…but I think they’re pretty sweet!

You should post all 25 years to show how much your family has changed over the years. Your boys must really love you…
How fun ! I love your family pic too!!
Im back from a long blogging break and it feels so good to be back, I have missed so much
Happy Holidays,

The fact that your grown children agreed to do this for you at their age really says a lot about you as a mother. What a beautiful family you have. I enjoy your blog thoroughly.
Great tradition. Like here in my country, Christmas Celebration starts from 16th of december up to january 2 of next year. Happy New Year! and wishing you all the best!
A very beautiful tradition. I am sure they will give you many years to come. You’re the best mommy ever
Happy New Year.
