Santa.

We went to the "real" Santa, according to Fawn, the Santa that visits the Bass Pro Shops. It really is a great Santa experience -- super friendly elves who are not trying to sell you a thing, plenty of games and activities to keep the kids occupied before and after the Santa photo, and a fun carousel.

I was a bit concerned that Small Fry would want nothing to do with Santa -- at this age Fawn would not let me put him in Santa's lap. But, I think having a brave big brother made that situation much better. Small Fry loved Santa -- as did Fawn.

One of my friends who just happened to be there (who knew that BPS was such a happening place!) tried to get a picture of us in line -- a bit blurry, but captured the moment.

Say cheese! The free picture from BPS is actually great this year -- so fun!

Going over Fawn's list for Santa. Detailed with hand-drawn pictures of Tenkai Knights, Transformers, and Power Rangers Gosei Morpher.

Talking over the items.

The first time Fawn has ever mailed a letter to Santa.
