Visiting Santa!

Today Martha and I took the kids to see Santa.  This is the first year we had to wait in a really long line, so there was a lot of entertaining we had to do :)

Animals, Baseball and Car Show!

Today Ben and I took Carter to the City of Surprise Annual Party.  He had lots of fun checking out all the cool activities.

I think he likes the snakes behind the glass better

Maybe he's not as afraid as I thought...

Balloon Glow

Tonight Carter and I went to the annual Balloon Glow at the stadium near our house.  We had so much fun!

Our first stop...cotton candy!

Santa's List!

This time of year is so much fun. I love to see Christmas through Carter's eyes. I try to spend the entire month surprising him with a variety of Christmas fun! I just recently learned of a site that automatically generates a personalized video message from Santa complete with your child's photo and name!  Carter got a huge kick out of seeing his photo on Santa's very own computer! He especially loved it when Santa opened up his NICE book to see his name clearly listed there, that was some serious fun!

Carter's on Santa's List!

I also sent away to have Santa send Carter a letter from him.  It came in the mail today!  It was even postmarked from the North Pole!  I've done this every year so far with him, however this year was extra fun!!!
