santa & seattle

Our family has made a tradition of going to Nordstrom to see Santa each year. For the last two years I have promised myself we will go earlier to beat the crowds. Yet, here we are again...a three hour wait, a three hour wait. I have the best husband. He sent us (kids and Nana) into the warmth of the nearby shopping center while he waited in the long cold line outside. What a trooper. Next year we WILL go earlier than the week of Christmas. I promise!

Ava REALLY loves Noah...we're having fun right buddy?

Where did my friend go? (Noah spent quite a bit of time looking out the window and waving to random people)

Hello? Santa?


Ava told Santa she really wanted a teddy bear to give Noah, and Noah wanted a new toy frog. (what????)
