Santa

Check off another first...Santa!   Today we visited Santa.  Now, I wouldn't call us the outdoorsie type, but when looking into seeing Santa, Chris discovered Bass Pro Shops gave a free picture with your visit.  So, Bass Pro it was!  It was actually really great!  I remember standing in line and waiting FOREVER to see Santa as a kid.  It would get really hot and it would seem like your turn was never going to happen.  But, at Bass Pro it was relaxed and fun.  They have so many great things for kids to do while waiting...crafts, carousel, bows and arrows, etc... (we look forward to next year when Eva can actually enjoy them)!  Oh, and since everyone knew they were getting a free picture you could just feel the weight being lifted off parents shoulders.  There was no pressure to buy and no stuffy rules about not taking pictures with your phone!  It was just a fun family experience!

Now, the question I know everyone wants to know...did she cry????  Yep, she did, but not right away!  She took it all in and then decided sitting with Santa by herself wasn't her cup of tea.  So, mom and dad joined and we got a pretty great family picture with Santa!
