visiting santa 2012

This year we went to our usual place to see Santa. We have gone to Bass Pro Shops every year that we have been in Arizona. They have a great Santa and lots of fun activities for the kids to do while we wait in line.

They also have a free carousel for the kids to ride. I think Garrett decided that this would be his last year riding it.  He is getting a little to old for that, of course he will still be part of the Santa picture. He really has no choice about that. :)

This year we visited with the Santa at Bass Pro Shops. He was a great Santa and the kids gave him a quick list of what they wanted. Jack ran right up to him and climbed up on his lap as soon as we were to the front of the line. It was so cute! It is a Christmas miracle that all the kids are looking at the camera and smiling at the same time!
