First visit with Santa - lighting of the Forum Christmas Tree

We made our annual trip to the Forum the Friday after Thanksgiving for the lighting of the Christmas tree. When we arrived, we didn't see Santa or Mrs. Claus in their usual setting, they were out enjoying the cool night air and admiring the giant Christmas tree. The boys ran right into Santa and Mrs. Claus to see how their were and tell them what they wanted for Christmas. The kids were so excited.




Our visit with Santa was just the begining...the next day we made time to decorate our house. Hatcher and Aidan loved doing the outside decor the most. The weather was perfect...it had been super cold for some time so to have a warmer day was ideal.









We decided to try and visit with Santa one more time - since the first time we felt rushed and it was at night. So back to the Forum we went. This time we also rode the horse-drawn carriage. The kids loved it. Hatcher told Santa he wanted the game Mousetrap and Aidan told Santa he wanted a "round and round Lightening McQueen thing." It was too cute!
