{Santa 2012}

We spent almost 2 hours waiting in line to Meet Mr. Claus himself this afternoon. It is our tradition to drive to Gerten's a landscape nursery center to meet and greet santa. This year we spent quite a bit longer in line,  but the girls were awesome. Brittyn started getting tired at the end and kept trying to lay down on us,  but quickly became alert again when Darryl placed her in Santa's lap for the first time.
Brittyn looked up at Santa the same way Brylee did her first Christmas...a look of awe, confusion, and curiousity. Brylee told Santa she wanted an American Girl Doll. Brittyn will just have to count on Mr. Claus' experienced judgement for her gift!

We are in for quite a bit of snow tonight....so tomorrow should be fun. I suppose it is really going to begin to look a lot like Christmas.....
