After waiting for an hour and a half in line and lots of coaxing (and a bribe for chocolate)to get Clara to cooperate, we were able to get a terrific picture of Clara and William with Santa.
Bass Pro Shop has a really, really good Santa. He has a full beard and long white silky hair, good build, and is gentle and soft spoken with the kiddos. Clara told him what she wanted (a bike, a scooter and a helmet) and then, when asked by Santa what William wants, she said a baby bottle. (Hmmm...maybe she wants Daddy to feed baby William every now and then?).
Anyways, Tom and I were both very relieved that all our waiting was worth it and that Clara didn't have a melt down with St. Nick. Here are some pictures of the event

William slept the entire time in line.
