Visiting Santa 2014

We were able to sneak away this week to visit Santa at Crown Center.
The kids were really excited - but not so excited to tell Santa that they have only been "kindof nice, but kindof naughty" this year.  We've been dealing with our fair share of tattling, fibbing, and not listening lately (typical kid stuff, but nothing that Brian and I want to have around the house).





Maggie was explaining to Santa that she wanted a 'singing machine' (think karaoke), and Colin told him he wanted a Nerf bow and arrow gun.  Colin has been wanting one since June and we are so proud of him for being patient while waiting to either save up enough money or ask Santa for it!


Every year Santa does the fist bump, reindeer flying special handshake




Afterwards, the kiddos played on the Crayola-land slides for a bit





Then we made our annual stop by the candy store to pick out some really neat gummies.
Maggie picked out a pink/purple frog, some chocolate covered gummy bears, and a red Christmas tree.  Colin got a GIGANTIC gummy snake.

Such goofy kids!


Dinner was next, and we went to Manny's in downtown KC.
The kids have always loved chips and salsa, and we went all out with some guacamole this year!



Love this one of Colin and I!


Maggie was doing the 'reindeer flying' fist bump we just learned from Santa




We had a great time visiting Santa!
Just a fun tradition we started when Colin was born - we are so lucky to do this every year!
