Santa!!!

Bass Pro does a whole Winter Wonderland & has free pictures with Santa. With it being early December, we thought the crowd wouldn't be so bad, and we headed out. Abby, before we left, all dressed up for Santa.

A little sibling hug in front of the tree.
We got there at 4:15. They start handing out line passes at 4:30, and we were lucky & got a 5:00 pass. While there, we ran into one of Drew's classmates, and he was so excited! They raced slot cars together:

And slid down the big slide!

Drew playing on a boat:

I was afraid that Abby was going to react to Santa the same way she did last year (i.e., lots of tears!), but she marched right up to him like they were old friends!

He was an awesome Santa, and Drew was very impressed that he knew who Thomas the train was.

Abby was quite taken with the big guy!
