Ho! Ho! Ho!

Getting into the holiday spirit! Kyle and I took the boys to Santa's Wonderland at Bass Pro this past week while we were all off from school and work. The boys played with remote controlled four wheelers and toy shot guns- while Dad drooled over the speed boats. Austin was content in his stroller, just watching the kids play.
P and B wanted to play in the enclosed "snow ball fight" area while I was in line to see Santa. Looked like they were having fun and Austin was getting restless in his stroller at this point, so I let Peyton take him in to play, too. Yeah- that lasted about 2 seconds. He DID NOT like the "snow balls" flying everywhere {they were nerf like balls, but whatever}. Dad showed up at just the right time and took A for a walk. About 15 minutes later, it was our turn to see Santa. P and B told him what they wanted and Santa gave them silly banz and a candy cane. Then- picture time. NOPE! Austin took one look at Santa and SCREAMED! Even with his big brothers right there, he wanted nothing to do with the man in red. So, no Santa picture for Austin this year. No problem, though. There was a year that Brendan didn't want to see Santa, either. We still had fun and Austin was fine with Santa as long as he wasn't expected to sit on his lap. ;) Maybe next year....
After the photo, we went to eat at Fish Company Restaurant- the kids ate free. It was pretty good- the scenery was the best {oh, and the bread!}.
Now I can't wait to put up our tree and decorate the outside of the house!
