The Friday before Christmas, we went to a local Christmas village which had an amazing light show synchronized to music.  The kiddos had fun riding the Christmas train, jumping on the bouncy houses, eating popcorn, and they even wanted to go see Santa. 

 I was shocked.  I wasn't planning on taking then this year because last year we stood in line for an hour and both kids were terrified of Santa and cried the whole time (see last year's pic.  At least it was a funny picture).  Anyway, I wasn't signing up for that again, but this village had a Santa and there was no line, AND both kids asked to go, so we went for it.  And who would've guessed it....they had a blast.
