A Visit with Santa

Tuesday, December 14, 2010

While we were in Duluth last weekend, we headed to the Bentleyville Tour of Lights. We had to drag the guys there, but once we were there, even they had to admit it was pretty stunning. You walked around a huge park with Xmas music blasting and beautiful lights everywhere. Plus, the kids got to meet all of Santa's reindeer and the jolly man himself!


Lauren was really excited to see the penguin. You see, about a month ago when we were talking about where Santa lives, she asked what else lives on the North Pole. I told her penguins, but I really wasn't sure. Whew! Looks like I was right:)

Ella had fallen asleep on the walk, but it was probably better this way! And my big girl Lauren surprised us and walked right up and hopped on his lap!


It might have had something to do with Santa giving out free hats... she seriously loves her hats!!

While the weather outside was frightful...

Last Thursday we headed to Duluth with our friends Gary and Angie. We stayed at a waterpark and the kids had a lot of fun!

Dan and Lauren- Lauren loved being in the big pool- she is getting a lot braver and actually floated around by herself for a bit.
