Our second "Santa encounter" was at McWane Center's Polar Express PJ party. This Santa was GREAT!
The kids got to dress in their Christmas PJs and we first watched Polar Express on the IMAX. Talk about up close and personal! We were basically laying on our backs with the movie inches (or so it felt) from our face. It was like sitting in the very front row at a regular movie theater. It took a little bit to get used to. Jack did much better than expected. I figured he and I would only be in there for about 15 minutes but he made it through the entire movie!! Thanks to the popcorn, skittles, raisins and other snacks I brought. When the food ran out, the attention span ran out. But the great thing was with everyone practically laying on their back and looking up, they never saw my child running around and acting up! Ha!
After the movie, they each got a bell...just like in the movie, then we moved into another room where Santa was waiting with milk, cookies and hot chocolate.
We even saw a friend of ours Harris and his brother Hayes and Mom Tama. We also got to play a little bit at McWane Center after seeing Santa.
Now onto Christmas morning. Just check out our living room before the boys got ahold of it. Can we just say "excess"?
And here the boys are running down the stairs to see what Santa has brought them. Then they moved onto the stockings and then presents. Jack LOVED his kitchen as you can see!!
Last, we made rice krispy treat houses and decorated them...after Christmas because Mommy forgot about them. You can see Jack and his house decorated and then Mason and his house decorated.
The Fitts family would like to wish everyone a Happy and Safe 2010!!
