First Visit to see Santa

On Saturday night we went with Nana, Papaw, Ava and Audrey to the Children's Museum to see Santa Claus and The Winter Wonderland/Jolly Days.  Nana's work had reserved the museum for the night.  We all had a lot of fun.  We have seen Santa at the mall in the years past and Cole always wanted to see him from a far.  We wanted him to sit and see Santa when he was ready.  Even this year he was holding onto Chad at first and we thought he was going to stay with us, but he went right up with Ava.  We had been telling him he could tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas when he sat on his lap.  Santa was pretty busy this night and did not have a lot of time to ask what they wanted but Cole and Ava were not letting him off that easy.  I just love the second picture...we could hear them both rattling off their list.  So cute.  Thanks, Nana and Papaw!

 Cole's all time favorite spot at the museum, since he was like 18 month old.  He would sit and dig forever if it wasn't for giving everyone else a turn.
