Most families have a picture of their kids sitting on Santa’s lap. But this mall tradition usually ends up fading away when the kids start elementary school. Not for these brothers, though — they enjoyed the annual tradition so much that they stuck to it, each and every year. You can see them grow up, get bigger, become teenagers and even grow into adults, all from Santa’s lap.
