seattle & santa

For the last three years we've made the trip to the downtown Nordstrom to see Santa, and this year would be no different. What was different is that we had to wait for 3 1/2 hours, and this was after a "false start" we'll call it.

All in all it was a really fun day and the kids were great when it came time to see Santa. Noah followed his big sister's lead and even gave the big guy a hug!

Entertaining themselves in line...

Those lips can get pretty chapped in this cold weather!

...still waiting.

Finally, we are next! (to get inside and wait)

I've been here for THREE HOURS!

At last, we get to see Santa!

This was all Ava asked Santa for, and she was not disappointed!

We didn't even make it out of the parking garage before the kids were out cold.
