Visiting Santa

While in Detroit we went to Paradeland (which RULES!) to see the floats and meet up with our old friend Santa Clause. Of course he went on his lunch break about the same time we were ready for him so we waited around until he came back. When we got in line we were behind this family with older children and a overbearing mother who was determined to get the ultimate Christmas card picture with her reluctant kids.
So they get up there and are all piled around the fat man, someone is snapping pictures and we all kind of step up to get ready to park our kids on Santa to get our Christmas card picture. But there was a snag. The people didn't move, they kept talking to Santa, and talking and talking and talking. This is what it looked like:

Is that woman serious? I mean the whole hunched over peering at Santa thing she is doing is not working for her. What is funnier than that is what Tim and Amanda looked like while waiting for this woman to finish what she was doing.

I want that to be my Christmas card.
