Visiting Santa

Megan has seen Santa from afar several times this season, however she really wanted to talk to him face to face. So, last night we decided to head to the mall to see Santa and then have dinner. It was pouring rain and cold so we thought that would reduce the crowd (LOL!! We waited about an hour and half and were very hungry by the time we got thru!)

They did a nice job with the set up. There's a station to write a letter to Santa, a Naughty or Nice Meter,
a chimney that blew snow, Santa's workshop with belts of Build A Bears going over head and wrapped packages falling into Santa's bag, a mailbox to mail your letter to Santa (when the kids opened the mail box snow blew out- very cute!) and of course Santa himself.

The wait was worth it. Meg was so happy. And she had to take her stuffed Santa to see the real one (I manged to keep her from bringing 3 Rudolphs and Clarice!)
