First we made a stop at the Reno County Museum's Oodleplex. It's a free playroom with all sorts of period toys for the kids to play with.
Here's Julianna taking the boat for a spin.
Then we headed over to the Hutchinson Recreation Commission to decorate gingerbread houses. The kids love to COVER their houses in candy....knowing that when we get home they get to snack on them! I love this tradition.
Here is Lily checking out all her candy options!
Drew's finished product.
No Christmas season is complete without a visit to Mr. Claus himself. Drew let Santa know that he'd like a dinosaur for Christmas this year.
Julianna was pretty excited about it.
Lily was too nervous to actually touch Santa. She told us that she'd rather sit on Daddy's lap. Although she didn't want to get to close she wasn't too shy to let Santa know her long list of wants. "Barbies, a camera, a Christmas tree all her own, and some decorations."
We finished our morning with a lunch at Burger King. We live very close to one and the kids have begged to go there for months. Today was the day and they were completely thrilled. It's the simple things.
