Santa

This morning we took the kids to see Santa Claus, they were both so excited when Eric told them where we were going! Josh ran around for a good fifteen minutes saying Santa over and over again and Emma kept rehearsing what she was going to tell him she wanted for Christmas.

After getting dressed and driving to Bass Pro Shops (they allow you to bring your own camera) we got in line to have the kids sit with the big guy. We got really lucky, there were only a few kids ahead of us and I think we only waited 5 minutes. As I walked both kids to Santa, I could feel panic setting in, Emma pulled back a bit as we approached and Josh started to softly whine. By the time both were on his lap, Josh was all smiles and a meltdown was somehow avoided. Emma smiled for the pictures too but refused to talk to Santa and only acknowledged him once off his lap and when he gave her a candy cane.

Eric was able to get some really good pictures, the kids had fun in Santa's workshop playing with all the toys set out, and best of all it was free!
