VISIT WITH SANTA


We went to see Santa at Bass Pro last night. It was awesome. Best set up I've seen in years. Real "stuffed" deer, animated elves, log cabin, fake snow... the works.


Violet was very excited about the train and watched it for about 20 minutes while we waited for Santa.


Violet was super excited when he came out of the little house. Every body cheered and Violet waved and pointed. Then when it was time she tensed up. No crying or screaming and a brief reach out for help. But she did really well. I was expecting crying. But we've been talking about him and looking at pictures of him and playing with the giant stuffed Santa we have in the living room. So she knew who he was.

You can take photos yourself and they take a photo too, and it's free. No $20 fee for a crappy pic. And the pic they took was pretty good. We were super impressed and will be going back next year.

This pic shows off her elf costume really well. You can see how tense she was. But she took the candy cane from Santa and even said 'bye-bye' too.
