Picture with Santa 2011

We planned it right this year. No long lines. Go on a random night after dinner when there won't be a crowd. Talk up Santa and take two adults. One adult stands in line while one adult takes the kids to play with the trains and other things set out at Bass Pro Shop.

Maggie was excited and couldn't wait to talk to Santa. Patrick loves Santa and was going to tell him that he "wants to ride a twain".

I didn't even consider that Patrick wouldn't want to see Santa. He loves things in costumes. His favorite part of Chick Fil a is when the ginormous cow is there to play with the kids.

As we walked up to see Santa, he lost it. He didn't want anything to do with the guy in the red suit.

He compromised by sitting on a stool NEXT to Santa.

Maggie told Santa that she wanted an Elf for Christmas.

Santa replied: That's the strangest thing I've ever heard.

Merry Christmas from the COLES
