So for some reason this year was kind of difficult for the kids to see Santa. We took them last weekend and they were so excited. At the outdoor mall you could see Santa...go on a horse drawn carriage ride...AND they had "snow" falling where Santa was. We walk over to where the line is and we see no one in line. We're thinking GREAT, we can get right in. Wrong! They had just closed down the minute before we got there! They were finishing up with the last kids in line and then Santa was going back to his reindeer. The kids totally started crying because they didn't understand why they couldn't go sit on his lap when they were looking right at him! It was sad! So we distracted them by going to the pet shop and walking through the snow that was blowing around. At least we could still walk over to the carriage rides and go on that. Wrong again! We get there and the security tells Dave that they just stopped the line and we'll have to come back another day. Are you kidding me?! The kids were completely bummed out and so sad.
That brings us to today. I was going to be damned if the kids were going to miss Santa again. An hour before we were leaving it started to poor rain. I called my sister to see if we should still try and go and we did. Luckily Santa moved inside due to the weather. We got there a little soggy but there was no one in line. Yahoo! Ty went right up to him and jumped on his lap...not Ashlynn. She would only go over there with me. She was not sure of this man and just wanted to touch her little finger on his hand. Then all of a sudden she just started talking and we couldn't get her to stop. Even after we were done she kept going back over to him and talking away. I guess Santa won her over. What a trip. They cancelled the carriage ride but thank goodness the kids were able to see Santa...they couldn't get upset about that:)
Ashlynn asked Santa for a Doll and Tyler asked for a Long Board. We will see! Only about 2 more days and they will find out. Patience...patience my little ones.

I told Scott it's weird for me to see you guys with warm hats on in Arizona, but he told me that for Arizonians, it gets chilly in the winter. :)
Oh man -- that is the worst when the kiddos get disappointed when you can't follow through, especially when you were trying to! Glad you guys finally got to go and see Santa.
Cute, cute photos. You are such a hottie! ;) ;) (No, but really.)
