We survived! And the picture turned out pretty good, don’t you think? We have such a good Santa at our mall – I think this is year number four we’ve had our picture taken with him. Usually it’s LilZ and I – but this year? I skipped out for the good of Santa’s legs.

We walked around the mall for a bit and LilZ carried NikkiZ the whole way, glowing with pride when people asked him about her. Although the look on his face when a lady asked if she was a DOLL, was priceless. I don’t what apalled him more, that she thought his sister was fake, or that he would be carrying a DOLL around the mall. Either way? PRICELESS.
Delurking to say that pic is so freaking cute — and also a belated congratulations to you and Mr. Z.
That is beyond darling! I love it!
awesome pic!
THAT is adorable. I love how NikkiZ is so un-fazed by all her adorableness that she is sleeping.
I love that picture! So adorable. How sweet is LilZ?
well, she IS a doll, so in a sense, the lady wasn’t too far off… 😉 cute pic–LilZ looks so proud. What a lucky mom you are!
(also–I love LilZ’s shirt in that picture–that boy has got some style!)
ahahahahah omg poor LilZ LOL! Great picture, tho!
I love that picture and LilZ’s shirt! I bought that same shirt for my best friends little boy and my mom bought it for my cousin. Target has the best clothes!
OMG! Now I am just in heaven here!! That’s the cutest picture I have seen this year! Your Santa even looks like a right Jolly Old Elf!
Merry Christmas to The Zoots!!!
Great picture! LilZ has to be the best big brother ever.
Great photo, Z!
That picture is wonderful, and you definitely made me belly-laugh with this entry. Hooray for the Zoots!
That _is_ a great picture! LilZ looks really great in it.
And too cute about him carrying her all around and someone asking if she was a doll!
oh that picture is priceless 🙂 Well think of it this way this will be a great story to tell Nikki when she’s older 🙂 My mother always does those kinds of things with me.
Have y’all noticed how much that kid (LilZ) looks like your hubby? Seriously. Am I the only one who thinks so? (and yes,I am aware that he is not the kiddo’s biological father) I just think it’s cool because everyone tells my husband how much my oldest son (from the first debacle..I mean marriage)..looks like him.
Anyway, seriously attractive kids you have there,Zoot. Keep up the good work! 😉
Totally adorable~!!!
Cute!!!
That’s a great picture. I’m still laughing at the idea of this lady thinking LilZ was carrying a DOLL around the mall.
Contary- I totally agree!
That’s a great picture Zoot!
She’s absolutely scrumptious looking. I’d like to sprinkle her with powdered sugar and eat her!!!
OMG! The idea that she thought LilZ was carring a DOLL around the mall, made me laugh out loud at work. Hysterical.
Love it. Way too precious. (thanks by the way for adding yourself to my map.)
Oh my! What a sweet holiday photo!
What a great picture. And the Santa is just perfect looking. I love that!!
That is a darling picture! LilZ looks like the proudest big brother in the whole world!
I would have LOVED to have seen his face. I can’t remember how old he is, but my son is 11. I know he would absolutely die if someone thought he was carrying a doll.
Cute, cute, CUTE pic!
