We are so fortunate to have a downtown community that provides wonderful fun (and free!) events for kids/families around Christmas. Everything happens on Thursdays and Saturdays. The first Thursday in December, we loaded up and headed downtown to the festivities. We were going to start with the trolly ride and then see if we had time for Santa. We got downtown a little after 6:00 and waited in line until about 6:45 or 7:00 until we got on the trolley (good thing it went through the library this year!) While we were in line, we got to see Olaf and the Sven! After the trolly, we quickly walked down to Santa's shop to see if it was still open. We kind of snuck in the end of the line, as it was almost 7:40 and they closed at 8:00. We waited for just a little bit and then got to see Santa. Kyler and Norah were excited and told him what they wanted, whereas Grace on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with him and was bolting out of the picture. :) As soon as they were done, they went out by going down the slide and we headed home! It was a fun evening!
Fun with Sven and Olaf!

The next Thursday evening, we headed downtown again, this time to see the live nativity. The kids enjoyed looking at all the animals they had there and seeing actual people role playing the nativity scene. After that, we walked downtown a bit, and then headed for home.
