Santa

Waiting for Santa!



Santa.
We will not be promoting Santa to Zion. He will be someone that helps bring joy to people at Christmastime. Christmas to our kids will be based around Jesus and his birth! That being said, we have nothing against Santa. :) Lol. The base here had a WONDERFUL thing this year called The Winter Wonderland. I LOVED IT!!! You waited in a VERY long line, then as a family walked through the decorated locker rooms until you got to the pool, where you got into a raft pulled by rescue swimmers, went under a black curtain into the main pool area and entered THE WINTER WONDERLAND! It was awesome! The whole pool area was transformed by lights, Disney character decorations, fake snow, presents, real characters waving... and we were being pulled in a boat by rescue swimmers! I REALLY LOVED IT! :) Zion love it too! I think Brandon more got a kick out of how much Zi and I liked it! hehe. And then you got out of the raft and went out to Santa! :) He was NOT about to sit there alone with them, so low and behold... there I am. Ha. Oh well. He just STARED at them! Mouth open and everything! But anyways, we had SUCH a great time! Good job base Kodiak! (and Brandon, he got Voluntold to help... :) gotta love the military!)

AND every year the Chiefs here decorate a sleigh and take Santa around housing with the fire department. So those are some pictures of my guys waiting for Santa in front of our house. :) So handsome! It felt like we were in the North Pole. Cold! But it was lots of fun. Zion couldn't have cared less about the firetruck though. It was very funny. It was about to our driveway with the lights and sirens blaring, when a little boy with a little Yorkie dog came up across the road... what did Zion care about? The dog. hehe. ALL he was saying was "dog...dog... DOG!" It was very funny!

Okie dokie! There are a couple of our Christmas events so far! Hope you are SUPER DUPER blessed!
