Haarmann Holiday Season has begun!

Last night we went to see Santa Claus! Santa visits Bass Pro Shop every weekday from 5-7. I highly recommend it! (He's there on weekends too if you're brave enough to fight the crowds!) They set up a whole winter village with lots of stuff for the kids to do. They had a train set up, a race track with remote control cars, a rifle shooting game, a bow and arrow shooting game, and some craft tables (if you can get your kids to sit down long enough!). We got there at 4:30 and it was perfect. We were about 10th in line (we could have been first, but Dylan wanted to look around at all the fun stuff.) We got to see Santa come out of his workshop which was so cool to Dylan. He's at such a fun age for all of this right now! You get a free picture with Santa, plus they let you take a few pictures with your own camera. Santa was so nice too. He was great with Dylan. He actually understood what Dylan was saying (I want Jessie, Bullseye, Mator and a Lightning McQueen bike!) and knew who the characters were. I was there ready to help Santa with the conversation, but he didn't need help at all! I was very impressed. :) Check out this face! Santa is about to come out of his workshop...Dylan was so excited!
Santa has arrived!Santa even looks friendly. Sometimes they tend to look a big scary. Jackson wasn't too sure about him though...I love that Dylan was trying to help his brother smile for the camera. He is such a great big brother!
Being a train conductor.Shooting with the pink gun, which Dylan thought was so cool. Pink is his favorite color!Santa's elves were everywhere to help out. This elf was teaching Dylan how to use the bow and arrow! Very serious business!
