Visiting Santa 2011

Santa 2011

of course one of the things we have to do in December is 

Visit Santa.

So happy we heard of an Awesome Santa/North Pole place to do this! So much better then the Mall Santa! 

This year we went to the Bass Shop—Outdoor Store, with the Maughan's. They had the best Santa, Best set up, best entertainment and the best photo ops! 

Not to mention everything was FREE.

Carousel

Checking out the Big Fish in the Pond

Coloring pictures for Santa and making wish lists.

Gavin Loved the Train Track.

So CUTE!! 

totally lucked out in the Santa, they switched right before it was our turn. So happy about it, cause the one before had a very large nose... And you could tell ours was a little nicer to the children and more willing to listen to there wish lists, because he was new on the clock. 

They had some fun games and toys out for the kids to play with... oh how Gavin wished we could of brought that car track home. 

Love that Smile! Just so happy! 

Next stop was Barros Pizza for Good food and Good Company. 

Oh how we Love 

Christmas Time

Ava December Dance Recital

December Recital

For this recital Ava performed 2 numbers

Broadway Baby and Popular 

the first thing Ava said when she tried on her costume was...

"Do they really think someone on Broadway or Popular would wear this?!" 

She wasn't a big fan of the costume, she said it was way too Puffy!  but she loved the dances and the RED lipstick.

Here is one of her dances...




So i didn't record the first dance she did, I thought I was recording, but i didnt push the record button.  So as soon as i can find someone that did record it I'll post it.
I'm so sad about it too, it was such a cute dance!

We did it in our Back yard and we rented a Princess Bounce House.

We are very Lucky to have such awesome friends with amazing talents!

Like Heather Woolley our Face Painting Artist and
