A Christmas Wonderland

This morning we went on an adventure with the Parkers.  
We heard that Black Lion, a very non-childproof upscale store, 
had a Christmas Wonderland for the kids.  
Jen and I were skeptical, but pleasantly surprised. 

The boys and I arrived and were greeted by Aidan and Ella's smiling faces.


Patrick sat in Santa's Chair (notice how happy he is when Santa isn't there)


While all of his friends played, Finnegan found a race car parked in the sand.  He spent the entire time playing "in the sandbox".  Finn would pick up the sand, put it on the car, watch the sand fall off the car and then start the process again.  He was determined and had a blast!


Patrick, Ella and Aidan found Santa's mailbox.  Hundreds of children had visited the display and put their hopes and dreams into the box for Santa to read.  It took only one hour for each letter to be pulled out of the box (and then put back in) by our little elves!  
I hope that Santa doesn't mind his letters a bit crumpled!!

  1. We had SUCH fun with you guys (as always!).

    Who knew that a little bit of sand and a mailbox could be so entertaining?
