Santa's Village

Last night, the girls, Charie, and I went to Santa's village downtown and got to see Santa, Mrs. Claus, real reindeer, elves, and pretend snow. They got to make jingle bell bracelets and frost gingerbread cookies. Ashley was feeling too shy to tell Santa what she wanted, but Paige told him she wanted a new teddy bear (to go along with the 25 she already has...) and that Daddy wanted a new game to play.


Mrs Claus read the girls a cute story about a southern snowman (he had to be kept in a snowglobe, of course!)

Here's the fake cinnamon-sented bubble snow (we're pretty sure that's as good as it's going to get this year, but the girls are both absolutlely convinced that it will snow on Christmas.)

Here's the cutest Christmas tree I've seen!

Ashley loved the nutcracker bear!

No, those are not actually real candy canes, but the girls wanted to taste just to make sure. Delicious!
