here comes santa claus!

tonight we went to dinner at chipotle and then we were off to visit santa at the santan village. but seriously do we have to have the craziest kids on the block! they were all over the place running everywhere and just not holding still, while all the other kids are patiently awaiting there chance to visit santa. so after about an hour in line the much anticipated visit came. i was nervous that savanna would start crying, but we tried to keep her excited to tell santa she wanted a "doggy" for christmas (not gonna happen). and carter was excited to tell santa he wants a spiderman on a motorcycle for christmas. i think my shopping is gonna be real easy this year! anyway, yeah for a fun night out as a family!

bren was really excited to see santa......

snow!

Kids grow up too fast. It seems like yesterday I was sitting on the couch looking out the window and listening for Santa's reindeer bells. Sometimes I miss the simplicity of childhood. Christmas always brings back good childhood memories.
