Wonderful weekend


Saturday started with a trip to Church to see Santa.  Savannah is the only one of my kids who will still sit on Santa's lap.  Trevor did not even want to come, and Griffin said there was no way he would be sitting on his lap.  Savannah asked for a puppy and dog food (first I've heard of this). The girl loves dogs, lucky for her we already have one.


There were games, crafts, cookie decorating for the kids, it was fun.

Later in the day we went to Lumpy's burger for dinner as a family.  It was really good.


After dinner we went to River of Lights.  It's been a few years since we've gone, it has grown.
We had a really good time looking at all the displays.



Sunday before church we went and got our tree.  We went to a different place this year.  It was cool they had animals, play area for kids and even Santa was there.  Since there was nobody else there I asked Griffin if he would sit on Santa's lap.  I told him he might get a candy cane.  He said ok, for a candy cane.


When they were done the elf hands Griffin a huge stuffed bear.  It was so funny, Griffin didn't say anything, but you could see him looking at the box of candy canes.  He came over to me and said "I really wanted a candy cane".  Savannah saw what Griffin got, so she wanted to see Santa too. She got  a smaller bear.

  
We spent the evening setting up the tree and stringing popcorn while watching A Christmas Carol.
