Fatherhood Adventures – December 28, 2018

One of these upcoming years photos with Santa will become a thing of the past.

Until that sad day comes, however, we will continue to make it an annual tradition, so we can look back at these snapshots in time. Each year when we bring out our Christmas decorations, Pam places each of the framed photos below out around the house.

It’s fun to look back and see how much our boys have changed over the years, beginning with 2008 when Beckett was just seven months old and Carson wasn’t even born. One year later, Carson was just one month old and slept through it all.

For many years, we were in the photos with the kids, but we bowed out four years ago because family photos with Santa went from being fun to just weird, according to Beckett. There was one memorable year when Beckett provided a lot of entertainment (see 2010).

That without question remains my favorite Santa memory.
