Santa Chuck at Birkdale Village

Will has gone to see Santa at Birkdale since the year he was born. So he went in 2009, 2010 and 2011. It's always the same Santa. His name is Chuck, Santa Chuck. In 2009, it was theperfect little picture, Will was dressed in his Santa suit. I used that photo as our Christmas card that year. Then in 2010, we went with cousin Annika who was down visiting at the time for Thanksgiving. BOTH of the kids freaked out. It was so comical that Branden/Rachel/Rick and I all think this picture is going down in history for a classic picture that we can pull out at things like graduations and weddings. HAHA. I should have used that for our card last year! I submitted that photo to the Ellen Degeneres website and it was chosen and put up online for all to see under "Bad Paid For Santa Photos." Just randomly, I checked Ellen again this year, 2011, and their picture is still posted on her website as one of her "favorites"! LOL. I wasn't sure how 2011 was going to go since he was so afraid last year. He was totally fine with Santa, even high-fived him. When I told Santa Chuck that this was our 3rd year in a row, he asked me to send him all the pictures from the three years to his email, which I did. He then took them and posted them all to his website! Will is becoming famous online eh. :)

This is Santa Chuck's email back to me:

"Thank you. Make certain you look at the bottom of the page!
