This past Sunday (December 16) we headed to Scott's VFW for their annual Christmas event. We'd heard Santa was going to be there so we were anxious to meet up with him!

Addison has said for months that she would not be sitting on Santa's lap this year (she didn't last year either). We told her it was up to her, and I was hoping she'd change her mind. But, she didn't... and there was no point in forcing her because she gets so nervous in those types of situations. She was happy to stand back with me and wave.

Fischer, on the other hand, could hardly wait to sit on Santa's lap. He hopped up there, said "My name is Fischer and I want a laser for Christmas." He has been talking about seeing Santa and telling him about this laser for weeks. Since Scott and I aren't quite sure what type of laser he is talking about, Christmas morning could be a little disappointing, but hopefully not!



So, after they saw Santa, they got to walk over to the tree and pick out a toy from the many different ones. Fischer looked back at Santa and said "Where's my laser?" He totally thought that the laser would magically appear right after he said it to Santa. So funny. He wound up picking a snack, which we thought was a rubber snake. Turns out it was a giant sucker shaped like a snake. We let him try a little bit of it later that day. Addison picked a Marshmallow gun - a hot pink gun that shoots marshmallows. They were happy with their choices!


After seeing Santa they made ornaments, which are now hanging on our tree. Then they got to eat some cookeis, and head outside to run off the sugar.

After picking a goody bag, then sitting in the fire truck, it was time to head home.


It was a fun time and I'm sure we will go again next year!
