A Visit With Santa

Jim and I took the twins to Mac Arthur center a few weeks ago before Thanksgiving. We wanted to see how they would do with Santa this year before we got them all dressed up and took them for pictures.

Mac Arthur was wonderful. They have their Santa display set up like the movie "Polar Express". Christopher and Caitlin LOVED it. There was a conductor for them to talk to who did magic tricks, they got to pull the train whistle and the brakes. (Caitlin was upset at how loud the brakes were!) Then they watched a little bit of the movie with "snow" falling down on them. Finally it was our turn to see Santa. They hopped right up on his lap. They talked to him and laughed with him! I was so happy! I think we have FINALLY gotten past the fear of Santa. So now, for the next few years at least, I think we can get some good Santa pictures!

We went back on Wednesday after school. We had to take Jim to the airport so we decided we would do Santa pictures that day. (I really wanted Jim to be there for them!) So here is the result. I am very happy with it. Now I just need to figure out where I am going to get a pink unicorn with purple wings!!
