Meeting Santa

Last night we went to a local tree lighting at a fancy inn. We got to have cookies and hot chocolate, sing carols, and meet Santa!

It was so much fun watching the kids wait for Santa and sing Christmas carols - another one of those long-awaited parent moments.

Here comes Santa Claus!

This was the first year the kids were excited to see Santa, and weren't scared of him. They waited in line fairly patiently, and then were a little shy when it came time to actually go talk to him.

They whispered what they wanted: Abby = jaguar (from Dora the Explorer, not a car); Zoey = princess/mermaid; Lucas = not sure.

Jason snuck this picture while the professional was taking his - the pro one turned out pretty funny.

Another holiday tradition checked off the list!
