The Legendary Santa

Just before leaving home all dressed up for Santa!



Waiting in line before entering Santa Land...look at the excitement on their lil faces!








The professional shot with her lil "cheese"!









Posing with the Snow Queen...it wasn't until after we had visited Santa that I realized my camera had gotten on the wrong setting so that's why many of them are fuzzy!




Look how proud she is to be sitting on Santa's lap...this is when she looked over at me b/c she knew I had my camera!




Trying to remember what she was going to tell Santa!





She looks like she was wondering why Santa was squeezing her so tight...I LOVE this picture...I think it's so sweet!




Tucker and Reed's turn...poor Reed! Looks like it had Tucker a bit worried too!




Posing with the bears after seeing Santa!




All changed and ready to go to Bass Pro and Uncle Harry and Aunt Peggy's 50th wedding anniversary celebration!




But wait...1st we must ride Santa's sleigh coaster!







The Saturday after Thanksgiving we made our annual trip to visit The Legendary Santa. This was the very 1st time that we had been on a Saturday so we knew that we would probably have to wait. We arrived just after they opened the doors but there was already a line so we didn't get to see Santa come down the chimney, I want Paisley, Tucker and Reed to see this at least once while they are small children. I just remember this being so amazing as a child! The kids did pretty well and we only waited an hour. It was not our 10 and 15 minute wait in years past but I still won't complain since my sister and I waited 3 hours plus as children waiting to see The Legendary Santa! Paisley was so excited waiting and as we got closer she was still excited! She talked with the Snow Queen then ran right over to sit on Santa's lap! They snapped a picture with a smile and then she began to look at me since she knew I had my camera and forgot all about what she wanted to tell Santa. I snapped my pic and went back up with her to help her remember what she wanted to tell Santa! We then waited for Tucker and Reed, Tucker wasn't so sure as he got closer. Tucker and Reed spoke with the Snow Queen and were great until Whitney sat Reed on Santa's lap! He was not happy at all! Whitney went back up and held Reed and he was immediately just fine. Tucker told Santa what was on his list and helped tell him what Reed would like too. As we left, they discovered that the Santa coaster was running so since it was a nice day, Kevin went back in and bought 3 tickets! They thoroughly enjoyed their ride. Then it was off to Bass Pro for lunch and then my Aunt and Uncle's 50th wedding anniversary celebration.
