The Hobbs Crew: Visits with Santa

We went to visit Santa at the Bass Pro Shop's Santa's Wonderland on Tuesday night. The kids had fun playing with the remote control car, race car track, and the Red Rider B B gun. Maddie was very willing and excited to go and talk with Santa, but Nathan on the other hand did not want much to do with him. We heard Santa took over 700 pictures with kids on last Saturday, so glad we went on Tuesday night. We had about a 10 minute wait, which was not bad at all!

Tucker showing Nathan had to use the B B gun, he did pretty good. Thank goodness it was only a laser gun!

Nathan LOVED playing with this remote control race track. He has the biggest smile on his face here, but it is kinda difficult to see. It is so PRECIOUS!!!

Maddie had a lot of fun, too. She laughed and giggled the whole time.

This is the closest Nathan would get to Santa Claus. He said, "I not go and see him."

Maddie is grinning from ear to ear. She told Santa that she wanted a Wowee Alive Wolf (which is actually a husky) and that her little brother wanted a choo-choo train. She takes such good care of Nathan, always looking out for him!

Today, we went over to the local coffee shop in Bon Aqua to try this whole Santa experience one more time. Maddie said, "Mama, I have already told Santa what I wanted." I proceeded to tell her that I wanted to try to get a picture of Nathan with Santa and she was ok with that. DRUM ROLL........Here is Nathan with Maddie sitting on Santa's lap! I told him that Santa would not hurt him and that he loved little kids. So, he said right before he sat on his lap, "Mama, Santa not hurt me....he likes little boys!" I was so proud of him!

This is the BEST Santa EVER! He spent about 3-4 minutes talking to them and asking them what they wanted for Christmas. He also told them that his favorite cookies are chocolate chip....so there want be any mix ups on Christmas Eve.
