Going to see Santa

Today was a busy day. Colin wasn't feeling very well, he has picked up a cold and has a sore throat, so Rich agreed to work from home to that I could run errands with Emma and not have to take Colin out. Colin was able to rest all day so that we could go see Santa Clause at Bass Pro after Rich was done with work. Boy was he excited once it was time to go! I could hardly get him to stand still so that we could get his coat on him so that we could go!!

There was a pretty long line, but the kids were pretty good. Since Rich went along with us he was able to take the kids to look at things while I waited so that we didn't loose our spot in line.


Colin couldn't wait to get to see Santa, Emma . . . well not so much. She started to get excited, but by the time we got up there it just wasn't going to happen. I ended up carrying her up to see him so that she could get her candy cane after Colin had happily ran up there and jumped on his lap!


There were no major meltdowns so that was good and they had a good time! Maybe next year Emma will want to sit on his lap, if not oh well! They had fun playing with the toys that were out and it was something we did together so that is all that really matters!
