Weekend of Santa!

Santa was definitely present this weekend, we saw him (or at least announced appearances of him)just about everywhere...and even Ethan got into the Jolly Old Elf's spirit wearing Aidan's 12 month (yes 12 month) Santa outfit!

First off, the boys received their Letter's from Santa again this year (Click on the picture to see the full letter) and Aidan did him proud by getting rid of his pacifier this past year (one thing Santa asked him to improve on). Santa knows that each boy has been quite good this year, so hopefully he'll bring them many a nice gift to play and share.

Saturday night was quite bizarre in St. Louis. We had a sustained thunderstorm for about 5 hours, 7:30 to 12:30. Really weird and rare to have a thunderstorm this time of year, but they actually were pretty intense, some put down some hail! In any case, we already had planned to spend the night with Auntie Elizabeth, going out to dinner and then driving down to Eureka, Missouri to see "Santa's Magical Kindgom", a place where they decorate in thousands and thousands of lights and Christmas decorations that you drive through. Even though it was raining, it was quite popular as we waited about 45 minutes to get in to the place for a half an hour car ride through all the lights. It was a really cool place, there were so many lights that you didn't need your headlights (in fact they had you turn them off). They had all sorts of moving characters and different arraingments of lights, I was impressed. We let Aid sit on the center console of the car, he was in heaven! Here's a few shots that are kinda washed out since I took them with my phone.

Have a great night everyone!
Ty, Emmy, Aidan and Ethan
