Visit with Santa....

Hello! This is going to be really quick - we have to head out the door to the Rivermen game. Last night we got an ice storm...see the tree to the left in the first picture? That one we can usually mow under on the rider. There are so many broken trees and downed power lines around and 40,000 people don't have power. We were pretty lucky!

The other pics are from this afternoon - we met the REAL Santa! Seriously. He and Mrs. Claus were amazing. It was at the outdoor mall in an empty store and the best part - it was free! You just had to bring your own camera. Justin saw him in the window first and he waved; then hid behind the Christmas tree and peeked around at us. When we went in Justin's eyes were so huge! Of course, he would not go sit on his lap, so Santa told me to hold him and we could read a book...Thomas the Train! After reading the whole book, Justin was warmed up and sat on his lap. Of course he told him he wanted hockey stuff... We had a good 10 minutes all to ourselves with Santa and Mrs. Claus. It put me more into the Christmas Spirit because I really think he was the real thing :)
