Our neighborhood puts on a Santa's Workshop every year and we enjoyed last year's visit so much, we went again this year! Brian was able to join us this time and it was a fun little Family activity. I took very few pictures but I got some cute ones so I'm hoping that excuses me ;)
First stop at Santa's Workshop was visiting with the jolly elf himself. Last year, Brielana was all oblivious to what was going on and I got great pictures. This year, she took one look at him, burst into tears, calmed down and then tolerated the pictures for a minute before reaching out to me. Notice the red-rimmed eyes and detached expression? Hehe.
And last years comparison picture. My how they both have grown!
Our next stop was the ornament making station. I took mental notes so I can make more, paper strips, hole punch, glue, string. So cute!
Kinsey also decorated a cookie. She was very focused while spreading icing and I was silently encouraging her fine motor skills. Then of course the best part was eating it. Brielana agrees.
I didn't get a great picture of what Santa drove in on (and quite frankly don't even know what it's called) but our city has a small tank- like hummer and the kids got to "tour" it. I think Kinsey was less than impressed when she realized she couldn't take a ride around the block in it, haha.
We always went to a Santa's Workshop when I was growing up too. It was so much fun. They don't do anything like that here which makes me sad. Looks like the girls had a blast! Impressed they like sitting on Santa's lap.
ReplyDeleteHow fun!!!! And a cookie at the end--- ummm yes please!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun visit with Santa. We hit up the mall to see the Jolly one. I'd love to find him somewhere we can make ornaments and cookies.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun!!!! Our HOA hosted a similar event this year. Really was looking forward to this (free) Santa pictures. Lily threw the tantrum of all tantrums before going sooooo we didn't. Ha! Looks like ya'll had a super fun time though!!
ReplyDeleteAww! How cool! I can't believe how much they've grown! I love comparison photos! What a great event!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very fun neighborhood! I love the comparison photo! Why do they have to grow so darn fast? Cute pictures and looks like a fun time!!
ReplyDeleteI love how you posted last year's photo to show how much they have grown! You got a great one this year :)
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! I just love it when communities pull together to have events like this!

ReplyDeleteSounds like such a great event!! I love the tank thing. Kinsey looks so excited to be riding around in there! And the kids actually did pretty good with Santa!
ReplyDeleteYour neighborhood does this?! That's awesome! What a fun event. I'd be all about the cookie eating part, too.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I think tanks/army vehicles are Ez's last unexplored frontier as far as vehicles go, so that would've made his day. And the comparison from last year - so cute!! Can't believe how big they get in a year... :-/
ReplyDeleteAww, you got some great Santa pictures!! I'm jealous!
