The Stewarts See Santa

Today we visited Santa at Willow Bend. As you can tell, I had 2 happy campers and 2 not so happy campers! The girls wanted NOTHING to do with Santa. Thank goodness Carson and Caden let Santa know what they wanted for Christmas before we sat the girls down on Santa's lap!
We made a whole day of our trip to visit Santa...
1st we visited Grancie at her school Peter's Colony. Since Chels works there we got to hang out with her, and as an added bonus Brenda and Carter were up at the school for Colt's party.
2nd we headed to Willow Bend to see Santa. Chelsi and Carter came along (we were going to get a picture of my 4 kids and Carter with Santa, but the photographers were being snobby and they wouldn't let Chels take a picture with her own camera). When Chelsi and I were walking in she said that she saw a Dallas Cowboy, but she couldn't remember his name...this really excited Cade! We didn't have to wait long in line because Grancie had gotten there before us, and she saved us a spot in line. The kids were pretty good in line. Carson made a friend that was as rowdy as him, and in one part of the line you walked through a gigantic snow globe that actually "snowed". Everyone was happy until the actual Santa experience. Chels got many pictures to document our time in line, but of all days I forgot my camera today!!! : (
3rd we headed to the indoor playground at Willow Bend. The kids had a great time, aside from the boys being rowdy (and Carson serving 2 time-outs).
4th we went to the food court and we ate Chik-fil-A.
5th Chels and I packed up the kids and we took them to Stonebriar (Grancie had a school function). You might ask why we went through all that trouble of going to another mall...well WillowBend is a mall for the wealthy...they don't even have a Gap!!! ; ) We had a snack, and Carter ate his baby food. We walked around to our faves....Pottery Barn, Gymboree, and Gap...we missed a few because Carson was walking the whole way! Overall everyone was well behaved, and we really enjoyed hanging out with Chels and Carter!!

Here is what my gang is asking for this year for Christmas...
Cade- a PSP (PlayStation Portable), games for the PSP, and a Devon Hester jersey
Carson-a race trac for his cars, a Transformer, and a Woody doll
Emma Claire and Ella Cate- a carseat carrier for their dolls, and tap shoes like Dee-Dee Doodle on The DoodleBops
