Santa visit #1

Right after thanksgiving we took the boys to our first official Christmas event....Santa arriving at our little town!

{finn spotted the big tree all lit up....lights were easily Finney's favorite part of Christmas this year....Santa, not so much}

{admiring...}

{the beautiful theater all lit up! Inside there were carolers and hot cocoa and cookies. This farm town...sometimes it wins me over on nights like this}

Sidenote: Santa arrived on a very decorated giant snow plow. Cute, right?! Not so cute was watching Santa pull out a ladder to climb out of the snow plow on. Holy hell, it was momentarily terrifying. I thought about averting Eddie's eyes, but we went with it. I just kept repeating "Wow! Santa is so brave!! Good thing he has lots of practice doing this!", but in reality, I totally thought Santa was going to bite the big one in front of all of the kids. Anywho....

All in all, it was a cute little thing. We did one more outdoor Santa arrival party, which I can't wait to post about. That one was seriously awesome. At each one, we just watched Santa arrive, ate some treats and moved on. Thank goodness, because wait until you see Finn's reaction to Santa at our 3rd Santa visit. He could have been traumatized much earlier in the season!
