Catching up...catching up...
After we left Thanksgiving, we immediately went into Christmas tree decorating mode. It was special this year as both girls loved decorating the tree and putting on the ornaments. We put on the carols and just had a blast watching the girls at work. Of course, I was there opening the boxes for my special ornaments ( I insist they store better in their own box, so I am the one who is graced with opening and then restoring ). And, both of us were putting on the hangers too.
We then had a great visit with Aunt Angelia and Uncle Doug as they came into Mimi's town to visit. Woody wasn't able to attend, but we had our 3rd Thanksgiving type dinner. No wonder the pants are a little tight right now...
Aunt Judy was also there, and Uncle Larry! We had a good but short visit.
Ahh... now time to talk about what we did to see Santa. Natalie really liked getting up and going to see Santa. We were one of the first, which made for a much better day. One benefit of always being up before 7:30! She wished for an animal pillow, lady bug or a pony.
Nicole didn't like sitting next to Santa, but she asked for a doggie animal pillow. Just look at that face (get me out of here look!).
And, then on to the ride. We were on the first ride of the day, one of the first ones on the track!
It does look kind of funny from this perspective. The guy had a stocking cap then a Santa hat on top. It was a bit chilly I must say, but worth it!
Then, the kids loved to go around the playground for a while. We saw people start showing up in droves then! But, we were already through with the crowded parts! And, then, the reward of hot chocolate and a peppermint stick. A great day!
