On Saturday Lane and I took the kids to Santa’s Village at Rheault Farms. Mom met us there with Karisa and Mallorie. It was an extremely cold day but we wanted the kids to see Santa before we ran out of time. Thankfully there weren’t a lot of people there so we didn’t have to wait to see Santa. Each kid took a turn sitting on Santa’s lap and having a little chat with him. MaKena was a little scared at first and didn’t want anything to do with Santa. Thankfully she didn’t act like she did last year and have a complete meltdown. Eventually I talked her into going up and saying hi and then we sat on Santa’s lap. Yes, you read that right, WE. MaKena wouldn’t sit on Santa’s lap right away so Santa suggested that I sit on his lap and then MaKena could sit on my lap. Oh goodness! Well, whatever works. So there MaKena and I sat talking to Santa and telling him what she wanted for Christmas. It’s been several years since I sat on Santa’s lap. The things you do for your kids!!
After the kids told Santa what they wanted for Christmas we moved into the kitchen and decorated sugar cookies with Mrs. Claus. As we decorated, Mrs. Claus told cute little Christmas jokes to the kids. The kids wrapped up their cookies in their napkins and we headed out to the next building. The next building had crafts, tattoos and coloring pages. The kids all sat at the table and made Christmas tree ornaments and then got tattoos. Afterwards the kids sat and ate their cookies they decorated with Mrs. Claus. At the last minute mom decided we all should go on a horse ride. So we bundled up and hopped on. MaKena was in awe of the horses. Saying she loved them would be an understatement.
After the horse ride we headed into the last building and kids got to put money into the train. I think they could have sat there all day watching the trains go around the tracks. Then they all wrote a letter to Santa and on the way out we dropped them in his mailbox. It was a fun day. It’s always fun going to see Santa and Mrs. Claus. Hopefully MaKena will sit on Santa’s lap next year by herself!

While we waited for Mom, Mallorie and Karisa we took a few pictures.
MaKena didn't want to stand by the snowman at first.
But daddy talked her into it!
