Visiting Santa

We went to see Santa about two weeks ago at Bass Pro Shops! This is our third year going there and it is alot of fun! They have a Winter Wonderland set up in a big area and they have games, arts and crafts, a place to write and mail letters to Santa and of course the big guy himself! It is nice because they let you take your own pictures of Santa! You can also buy the pictures they take but we have always been just as happy with our pictures and they give you one free one so it works out great! The girls did so good! I knew G would do great because she has been talking about seeing him for awhile now! I was interested to see how Lillie would do! She surprised me and did fantastic! She sat right in his lap and didn't fuss once! (I was on standby just in case!:)) Now, she wasn't smiling but wasn't fussing either so to me that was a successful trip! G had fun with all the games and making an ornament for our tree! She also really enjoyed writing her letter to Santa! We are planning to go back tomorrow with some friends just for fun! Here are some pictures!



The girls and Santa!


Lillie checking him out!



The lighting is off on this one but I thought good of both of them!


Lillie checking out the candy cane in Santa's hand!


Gracie telling Santa what she wants for Christmas!


The Bass Pro shop people asked me to sit Lillie back down one more time because they didn't get a shot of both of them looking at the camera! This my friends is what happened....this little baby was not having it any more! I just kind of looked at them like they were a tad crazy for asking me to put her back down again when the first time went SO well!:) I scooped her right back up and this is the picture they gave me to keep! HA!


G had been so excited to do this little race car game! She was very intent while doing it!


Lillie "writing" her letter to Santa!


G writing her letter! She told me everything she wanted to write and I just helped her spell it!


G's letter to Santa! It says: I want a pony car, bible and Christmas PJ's! Thank you for my presents! Love, Gracie


Getting ready to mail her letter to Santa! She also had drawn him a picture at home that she put in too!


Sending it off!


G standing in front of the huge Christmas tree as you walk in the door!
