Christmas Countdown - Day 3 {Seeing Santa}

Each year, my work hosts a holiday party for employees kids, and the boys look forward to it each year.  They rent out a place called Power Play which is full of video games, small carnival rides, bowling, and best of all they have Santa!

They brought their Christmas lists with them so they could go over them with Santa.  Karsten was carefully considering what he was going to tell Santa because we warned him that he could not read the entire list to Santa since there were other kids waiting to see him.

Liam said he was going to sit on Santa or Mrs. Claus' lap for the first time this year, so he was a little nervous while we were waiting in line and didn't want to pose for a photo with his list.

I love this, Santa and Mrs. Claus are going through their lists with them.  Melt my heart!

The boys made snowflakes to leave with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and they really liked those!

This was our first Christmas photo since Karsten was tiny where Scott and I have not had to get in the photo with them!  WOO HOO!  Here are the old ones for reference, so fun to look back and remember all of these - 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009.

Karsten wanted to try out a few of the small carnival rides but Liam wanted nothing to do with them.

Air hockey may be a new favorite at our house, they had a great time playing, even if Liam didn't have a thing to hit with.

He wasn't bothered using his hand to play.  Once their time was up, they didn't want to let the next group play, they wanted to keep playing!

They had a great time checking out all of the games!

After an hour and a half playing, we pried them away from the games sow e could get ready for Karsten's first basketball game.  Once we got outside, the silence was welcoming, you don't realize how loud it was in there until you leave!
