Impromptu Santa Visit

The kids are still on California time (we're playing around to see if we like the later wake-up/nap/bedtime) so after a nice family dinner, we decided to go check out the Buda Trail of Lights. We've never been, and since Austin isn't doing their trail anymore, we thought we would see how the Buda one compares.

It was a little bit drizzly out, but luckily that just meant there weren't a ton of people to bump in to. The trail was fun, and we got the unexpected bonus of a visit with Santa! Emery was absolutely against visiting Santa this year, but Anderson really wanted to so we were in a bit of a dilemma. I was planning on taking the kids to the mall tomorrow morning, but was really worried about how Emery would react. I wasn't going to make her go up to him, but she was going to have to wait with us until it was Anderson's turn.

She stayed back with daddy while I went up with Anderson. He was so adorable- went right to Santa and gave him a hug and then had a nice conversation with him about what he wants (a toy truck). When he was done Santa gave him a candy cane and one for Emery too :). It's not the best picture in the world, but it beats standing in line with two toddlers, especially if one of them was frightened!
