Sometimes cuteness triumphs over all.

I assiduously avoid putting pictures of my family online, especially the children, because I believe no good can come of it, but reason can be trumped by the heart every now and again...

This is my granddaughter Regan, who will be three years old this February, with her mom, Dr. Sarah. They are on a "snowshoe trek to the North Pole" in Ponderosa Park in Idaho. The kids followed clues and were led by "elves" (the red pants of their Elf in the photo belong to one such) and Regan has just spied Santa from afar and is pointing to him as a local news photographer snaps his shutter.
