A trip to see Santa


This is my first post on our blog and i am excited about it. I figured since it is technically wendi and amy's blog i would add a little something to it. This last weekend Justin and Lori came up to go christmas shopping. While they were here we decided to go to RC Willeys and see Santa. It was fun. They take your picture and print it out for you for free. The kids were really excited to see Santa and make sure that he knew what they wanted. When we got there Maddie wasted no time marching right up to him and talking to him. I didn't even have time to grab the camera before she was done and eating her candy cane.
Jackson was the next one to step on up and talk to the big guy. He made sure Santa knew he wanted some bokugons. I honestly don't understand what is so cool about those things but apparently they are amazing.
Aidan wasn't so sure what he thought about going and sitting on this crazy man's lap. After some coaxing from Jac and Santa offering him a candy cane he decided it was okay to try it.
I was actually surprised that Boston didn't freak out a little. I think he was just excited to be out of his car seat.
Tanner would not even go close to Santa. He said he had all ready written him a letter telling him what he wanted for christmas so he didn't need to go talk to him. Hannah had a little bit of a freak out. She wasn't going to sit on his lap but we did get her to stand next to him and tell him what she wanted.
Grandpa tried to show the kids that Santa wasn't scary. I think Santa was a little surprised by this one!Abby wasn't fooled by grandpa. Jac tried his coaxing again but she was not having it. This is as close as we got her.

Finally after all the tears and they found Kung Fu Panda on one of the big screens in electronics and they were happy.
