I "caught" Santa!

My girls (age 2 & 4) are fully aware that Christmas is really about Jesus and his birth and that Santa is just an extra perk.  I do, however, think it's fun to play Santa up just a little. 

This year I happened across this website.  You send in a photo of your christmas tree area and they put Santa in the room.  I thought it was a super cute idea but not worth the $9.99 you have to pay for the picture.  Then I thought, "hummm....I can do this myself!"  And so I did!



I took a photo of our living room, Googled images of Santa, then photo edited him into the photo of our living room!  I'm not sure if I got the proportions quite right but my girls won't know the difference.

Christmas Eve night we will put my camera up in the living room on a tripod and we'll "catch" Santa as he delivers presents to our house!  Can't wait to see my girls reaction!

This year I decided to "catch" Santa with my camera!
My kids fully know that Christmas is really about Jesus and his birth and that Santa is someone extra but I think it's fun to play him up anyway.
