Santa's House

We took the kids to Santa's House this weekend. Prior to this, we took Conner to Northern Tools b/c they had this amazing ride on back hoe. He loved it and of course, we bought it. We told Conner that he had to tell Santa that he wanted a tractor from him or he might not get one for Christmas. He agreed to talk to Santa so off we went. Let me explain; there is a couple that lives just down the street. Every year they start decorating in September (I asked Mrs. Clause) for the holidays. They do it up right too! You can tour their home, which is decked out, and visit Santa in his workshop. Conner was exhausted; he didn't nap but whatever. He refused to sit with Mrs. Clause and we talked and talked about how cool and nice Santa was just so he'd sit with him. Well, he didn't like sitting with Santa but he did tell him that he wanted a tractor and he told him it had to be a big yellow one! I was proud. Parker didn't care at all. Next year, he will though.

Seeing Santa




Just around their place.






We decided that we'd make this a yearly tradition. It's much better than a mall Santa.
