SANTA!

So in an effort to avoid the expensive pictures with the mall Santa, Tim and I went to different events and met Santa there. Each one let me take pictures with my own camera - a wonderful thing to me!!

Here was the first Santa meeting this year. It was in Altoona PA at a drive though Christmas lights show. Tim wasn't so sure about talking to him but Dad picked him up and stuck him on the seat. After a few seconds, Tim started babbling away to him!



The next Santa was aboard the Walkersville MD Santa train. While we were taking a train ride, Santa came and would sit with each kid and talk to them for a few minutes. Tim wasn't too interested when it was his turn but instead wanted to point out all the exciting things out the window! Santa played along!



The third Santa was at the Gladhill Tractor store in Frederick MD. They had a nice little set up with crafts, games and cookies for the kids. Tim was interested in Santa's beard and kept pointing at it!



Our final visit with Santa was at the Christmas party for my Mom's group. Here Santa brought Mrs. Claus and an elf helper! They were all wonderful with the kids. Santa hid a jingle bell on each kid. On Tim he stuck it in the pocket on the leg of his pants. It took Tim awhile to find it even though he could hear it! Tim went right up to this Santa when it was his turn and held up his arms. He knew the routine!



Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!
