MINNEAPOLIS — One of the most important things this Christmas, said new parents Lauren and Alex Tremblay, was getting photos of their 7-month-old, Joelle, with Santa Claus.
"She's both our parents' first grandkid," Alex Tremblay said as he waited for his family's turn to meet Santa in one corner of the Mall of America storefront that hosts the Christmas visitor every year. "If we didn't take these pictures, we'd be out in the cold."
Less important? Santa's race.
