We’ve never done this before but Cailee was so excited about Santa Claus this year that I thought we might get a cute picture of the kiddos posing with Santa. Welllll, not exactly. Initially, Cailee was looking forward to going to the mall to take the picture and give Santa her wish list, however as…
