Believe

After 11.5 months of anticipation, Noah could barely contain his excitement as we went to the Santa Celebration a few weeks ago. Last year's experience was super awesome as well... but we were without Daddy. This meant that:

A) I had to try to put little dude up on MY shoulders.
B) I couldn't take a single picture of the awesome event.

And...

C) Well, Daddy wasn't there to meet Santa, his elves, Rudolph, Frosty, the Grinch, and much more. Poor Daddy!!!

So Noah was quite excited that his daddy was going to join us this year. And since he was a little afraid of Rudolph and Frosty last time, he was anxious to greet them this time around.

UNFORTUNATELY.... Frosty the Awesome Snowman wasn't there. We told Noah that maybe he had a cold... Ha! Ha!... Ha!... Heh.... yeah.

But everyone else showed, including some REAL LIVE REINDEER! After Santa flipped the big switch and turned on the lights on the massive Christmas tree, we made our way around the outdoor mall watching jugglers, elves making balloon animals and candy canes, saying HELLO to all Noah's favorite Christmas characters, enjoying free hot chocolate and pastries from Panera, and we even went to the book store to hear Mrs. Claus read a few stories. Noah mailed off his awesome letter to Santa, asking for Buzz Lightyear for the second year in a row (Don't worry... He's been a good boy!). Then we called it a great night and headed home.




Here's the awesome moment when Santa turned on the lights!





We LOVE the Santa Celebration here in Lincoln. It is definitely on the events list for next year!

Why?

Because my little boy believes.... And so do I.


Merry Christmas Eve EVE!!!!
