Have you visited with Santa yet?
Let's get this board moving today, people!!
So, have you been to see Santa yet? If so, where? If not, are you planning on it and where are you going?
I'm hoping to take the boys on Sunday to a local farm that is doing a simple (and free) visit with the big man.
My three sons!
Re: Have you visited with Santa yet?
Yes, we've seen him. My mom expressed interest in going to Phipps the day after Thanksgiving since they haven't been since I was in college. That is where we usually go to see Santa (the Santa there is AWESOME) and that was his first day. So we had a nice day out and got that accomplished. We extended the streak of only having one kid willing to sit on his lap - T wouldn't leave my arms. Maybe next year we'll get a picture of both kids with Santa...
I'm glad we went early because Todd had been non-committal about what he wanted, so that set his request in stone. ;-)
Phipps FYI - you do have to pay Phipps admission, but you can take as many pictures as you want, Santa takes his time with each kid, the train display and winter flowers are out and there are some kids activities around the center. Totally worth the money IMO for a nice family outing.

We did breakfast with Santa at Bravo last weekend (where of course Garrett knocked his hat off, so luckily he had a full wig on!). We'll probably take them to see Santa at the mall in the next week or so too. We have a few holiday plans coming up that I'm sure Santa will make an appearance at as well. Both boys are really excited about Santa and not afraid of him this year, so I'm taking advantage of it!
We did happen to see Santa right before Thanksgiving at the mall - he was on his way to take a break from pictures and stopped to talk to Mason. It was cool to see him unexpectedly walking through the mall, and that he stopped to talk!
we went to market square last weekend to see santa. it was a nice day out but it was sort of crowded. there was a line but it went pretty fast. you make a donation to the food bank and get a free pic with santa and you can use your own camera too. santa asked my son to leave him some carrots out for his reindeer and he said 'no'. probably the only kid in history who ever said no to the big man!!!!
we went to phipps last year and we were one of the first in line and it still took a while. the line was huge before we were even done and i'm sure those folks waited FOREVER since he does take a lot of time with each kid.
