Santa Year by Year

Every year since we’ve been married we have had our picture taken with Santa. We go to Mid Rivers Mall and see the exact same Santa. I love this little old man and was very happy to finally take Roman to get his picture taken with him this year.
I told the picture staff that we’ve been coming every year since we’ve been married and they told me that this was Santa’s last year. He’s getting older and just can’t do it anymore. If you look really close, you can see the tears in my eyes. It was a bittersweet time. I’m happy to start a new tradition of Roman getting his picture taken with Santa but I’m sad that Christopher and I will no longer have ‘our’ Santa.
