Santa's Village

Tonight we spent the evening at

Santa's Village

I have always wanted to go, but the hustle and bustle of the

holidays always seemed to cause us to miss this.

Since Scott has been out of town the entire month,

I wanted to wait until we could all go as a family.

Tonight was the last night they were open before

Santa had to return to the North Pole to

get ready for his

BIG NIGHT!!!

Here is one of Santa's reindeer resting up for the

long trip back to the North Pole

and then across the globe

to deliver all of the

PRESENTS!!!!!!

There were so many fun things to do.

Above is a picture of Jackson, Nana and I decorating a cookie

in

Mrs. Claus' Kitchen



Jackson decided that he would take a quick

spin in Santa's Sleigh

And try his hand at being a

SNOWMAN!!!

He might get to try this for real on Christmas Day...

they are giving SNOW

for Christmas Morning!!!

Whoo Hoo!!!!

Scott and Jackson made their way through the

Icicle Maze

Jackson and I stopped to write a letter to the Big Guy himself!

Jackson said he wanted Santa to bring:

"TooTies" aka Cookies

"Pizza"

and

"Toys!!!"

When I asked him if he has been

Naughty or Nice

he quickly replied

"Nice"

with a great big smile...

After we wrote our letter to Santa, we came outside and

found

Mrs. Claus

This is a horrible picture of me,

but I thought it was really cute of Nana and Mrs. Claus.

Jackson loved Mrs. Claus.

He would just giggle at everything she would say to him.

Look....Jackson and I are a Christmas Tree!

Every 20 minutes down by Santa's house

they would have

SNOW!!!!

Jackson would get so excited every time

he would hear the machines kick on.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!

it was more like clumps of bubbles,

but every time they came on all of the

kids went NUTS...it was a lot of fun to

watch how excited they all got! 

We waited in line to see Santa at his house...

Jackson had his picture and almost left his Paci with Santa...

but decided to take it back in the end.

After a quick trip upstairs to see Santa's bed...

ready for him to rest up for his big night...

we headed home...by way of Costco...

to buy a new TV...

the one downstairs died...

not what I had budgeted for at the holidays!

Oh well... 

We had a really great time...

Even thought it was really cold...
