We do the Santa picture every
year. We don’t like scaring our kids though. Nathan and I decided that we would
use this opportunity to take a family photo since we knew Asher and Sarah
weren’t going to sit on Santa’s lap without tears. I was happy with the
results. I think Santa was relieved too. We went to the Fairview Village this
year. We were able to schedule an appointment. Definitely the way to go. 5
minutes of waiting vs. 1-2 hours in a line to wait for the big guy. Aaron got
to chat with Santa for a few minutes. That was a special moment. Santa really
is magical!
After the Santa picture, we
enjoyed an evening watching Disney on Ice at the Allen Event Center. Everyone
did well. The kids love Disney and were able to sing to most of the songs.
Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy were their favorites. They narrated the show,
so they got to see them often.
The next day we celebrated
Thanksgiving. My brother and sister-in-law, Deric and Amy were there. They
actually stayed for about two weeks. Our kids enjoyed seeing them. The cuddles
and smiles were endless! Rachel, a family friend, also joined us. The kids
enjoyed swimming in the hot tub with her. As you can tell from the pictures,
the pool was open and heated for the Thanksgiving Holiday. A win for our kids
since they love swimming!
