Santa's Village

Hey bloggers and readers!

Christmas is officially happing! The malls and roads are busy as can be!  Jamie seems to save all his vaction time for the end of the year. He is on vaction till the first of the year. Sophie Clare loves having him at home but our routine is so not the same! :-) 

Last night we headed to Hunstville for our 3rd year of Santa's Village. Every year gets better and better. Sophie Clare seem to really get into it this year. Considering she loves Santa so much this year, we told her we were going to see where Santa lived.

We have never waited in line to Santa at " Santa's Village" but we did this year, just because I knew as soon as we left she would ask to see him.

So hear we are waiting to see Santa!

We don't have a picture of it snowing but while standing in line, it snowed!  I carried SC over and let it snow right on top of her. She loved catching it in her hand.

Sophie Clare and I have this thing we do..............

Cheek to cheek

This only thing that was different from last year was the Christmas tree farm...........They did not have real trees! Which made me a little disappointed. It is so magical with the snow, workshop, making cooking ect.

First, I LOVED that I could take pics of her and Santa!! 

Here she is walking up to him!

She always looks scared but she is not! She walks up by herself and wants to sit in his lamp. I just think she is over-whelmed by him! :-)

Santa asked her what she wanted for Christmas and she never says a word. I really think she would sit in  his lap for hours. haha

After we got to visit with Santa, we were able to go up and see Santa's bedroom. It was so pretty and it was so much fun to show Sophie Clare where Santa went night night.

This is where Santa eats his bite bites.

Waiting in line for Santa's toy shop.

Playing with the "old timey" toys.

The entire time we were waiting to see Santa's toys, all Sophie Clare could think about was making a craft. She is making a gingerbread girl ornament.

I was going to just get Sophie Clare's pic made in the sleigh but we have been in the pic for the past  couple of years. I thought it would be fun to look back!

The cutest and sweetest snowman in town!

These next 2 pics, I just love her face in them!

The train was probably her favorite. She did not get why we could not just keep standing there! There were a few children that did not mid sharing the space.

She really enjoyed the Icicle Maze. She had to do this more than once.

We even got to listen to Mrs Clause read a Christmas story. I really wanted SC to get her pic made with her but she was not so sure about her.

We also loved seeing the reindeer and seeing Frosty and his friends. Sophie Clare ended up getting tired and not decorating her a cookie but thats ok. We decorated a gingerbread house which I will share soon.

Be sure to look back at Santa's Village

I said the very first year that it would be a yearly tradition and I hope that it always it!
