S&Z are really curious about everything this holiday season. Santa is one of the biggest icons of the season, so they have definitely learned who he is. They don't understand anything beyond recognition, but it's really fun nonetheless. And honestly, who doesn't love the jolly fellow in red, especially when little kids are involved?!
We took the kids to see Santa for the first time last year when they were 14 months old. I was shocked that no one cried and that we got a decent picture from buying a Kodak photo package. This year I got wind that Bass Pro Shops at Patriot Place in Foxboro gives one free 4x6 printed picture with the option of buying digital or print packages. We've never been to Patriot Place (near the stadium where the New England Patriots play football), so we decided to see Santa on the cheap. I was worried that the kids might be wary of the big fellow, so we looked at the picture from last year and talked a lot about going to see Santa again.
The store itself is very similar to Cabela's back home. In the lower level they have it all decked out as Santa's Wonderland!

We visited on a Friday morning and waited less than 10 minutes for our turn.
When the kids got out of the wagon, Silas yelled "SANTA!" and ran over to give him a big hug. It was a melt your heart moment.
I was a little worried about what Zoe's reaction would be, but as usual she was happy and comfortable to follow whatever her brother was doing. The resulting picture is hilarious, complete with reindeer. Silas has the EXACT same look on his face that he did last year!!!
We said goodbye to Santa and then headed over to see the trains.
We colored a little and then it was time to go.
Ho ho ho ho!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will definitely go to Santa's Wonderland again next year!
They sure are giving you a lot of heart melting moments for Christmas this year! I love it!
