Eli on the old rocking horse.
We set out on Saturday to get into the Christmas spirit. First on our list, visiting Santa at Sam's Club. It was a good idea until we got there over an hour before Santa was scheduled to arrive. So we set out for the next item on our list: a Christmas tree. We headed down the road to a nearby nursery to pick out a tree. I picked out one that was labeled "spaced branching, perfect for decorating" because it was discounted. While I went inside to pay the boys were surprised by a visit from Santa himself! Luckily Grandma brought her camera but unfortunately the boys were not very interested in getting anywhere near Santa.
Their first encounter with Santa - I think Eli might actually be smiling here.
Noah looks pretty skeptical of the big red man.
Somehow they managed to get Noah on Santa's lap. It didn't last long.
When I finally came out (after drinking some delicious, free hot cider) Santa was out front waiting in a sleigh being pulled by his horse Abby. We were pretty excited when Santa told us to hop on in for a ride. Needless to say, we were more than happy with our visit with Santa this year and will definitely go back next year for some free cider and a sleigh ride with Santa.
They loved the sleigh ride as long as they could maintain a distance from Santa. We did convince them to give him a high five before we left.

Fun! What a great family outing! I haven't tried taking Greg to see Santa yet. I'm not quite sure how it will turn out.
