Santa 2010

Today we got to visit Santa at the mall in Eau Claire.  The Santa there really is great and we've visited every year.  Usually, we are lucky enough to choose a time that isn't too busy.  Today, that was not the case!  It was a two hour trip from the time we got to the mall to the time we got back out to the car.  Yikes.  If we hadn't mentioned it to Logan this morning, we probably would have walked out of the mall and just skipped it, but Logan was quite excited to see Santa.  The wait didn't matter too much. The kids were so good!  John took them to play while I waited in line, so that wasted a little time.

Then we used a coupon we had for a free pretzel and by then we were far enough in line that the boys could see the video.

Another 20 minutes and we were almost there.  The boys enjoyed petting the reindeer.

Logan and Bennett were both excited to see Santa...

until it was time to sit on his lap.

Bennett just didn't want to sit.  But, that was just fine with us.  Logan told Santa he wants a "Zamboni" for Christmas.

Logan looks so big!  Look at those long legs!

Santa managed to get a high five from Bennett before we left.

In case you want to take a look back at our blogging years: 2007, 2008, 2009.
*I take it back!  I don't think we saw Santa last year!  Eek!  Here's a Christmas post from 2009, in case you want to see the boys from last year.
