Off To See Santa

The kids were so excited to see Santa this year, they are at that perfect age... so much fun.. they made out their lists to Santa...We went to dinner with some frinds and Luke decided to drink his cup of Ranch...crazy kid..
so I guess that is a "ranch mustache"..gross..Lists in hand..waiting in line.. I have noticed lately that Luke is starting to put his hand in his pocket a lot.. too grown up for me.. he looks like a little man...

They had these really neat scenes behind glass for the kids to watch in this tunnel area where you waited in line.. they also had fake snow blowing above our heads onto the crowd periodically.. it was really cool.. the kids had fun just waiting.. and it wasn't even that terribly long..about 40 minutes..

First gimpse of Santa...Hailie was so cute reading Santa her list and Santa was incredibly nice... I wasn't sure how she was going to react to him because in past years it hasn't gone so well.. she was a little shy at first but then we ended up getting a really cute Santa picture...

I love this time of year.
