Santa's Wonderland
Last night we went to Santa's Wonderland in College Station. We went with our sweet friends, The Martinez's. It's built up like an old time Texas town with millions of Christmas lights, shops, eateries and live performers.
Once you walk through some saloon doors there is a fake snow machine. The fist picture perfectly captures the excitement and thrill that Isabella felt playing in the "snow!" After some good squealing and playing we got a picture of Kendell and Isabella together.
The number of lights and displays they have created are really amazing. Here we are in front of a HUGE Texas flag. Trey was a super trooper in the baby bojurn.
We then rode on a cute kiddie train covered in christmas lights. Isabella picked the purple car.
A visit to Santa was next on our list. They wouldn't let you take pictures-- but it was great to watch Isabella actually talk to Santa about her Christmas wishes. They exchanged hugs and he gave her some stickers. Then he reminded her to please put out lots of cookies on Christmas Eve.
The live musicians were great. Isabella loved the Christmas music and country music. She danced her guts out.
After dinner, we went on the hayride. It was a thirty minute ride. There were arches covered with lights- an amazing airplane lit up-Santas workshop with elves-a nativity scene and the ride ended with an Easter scene. They played Christmas carols as we rode and it was adorable to watch and hear Isabella belt out her version of Jingle Bells.
We stopped by the food stations for dessert. Robert got a funnel cake, Cerissa got a brownie sundae and Isabella got some pink ice cream(strawberry).
It was well worth the price if admission. Kids and adults had a great time. A big thanks to ALL the people that work this venue!

Baby Shower
My class surprised me with a baby shower today. It was fun. We played some guesstimation games. Then they guessed the baby food type. Finally they measured toilet paper to try to guess how big my belly is. Five kids either got it spot on or were one away. I guess those end of day hugs give them a good idea! They were so generous. Lots of baby clothes, toys, diapers, gift cards and a play mat!! We are so lucky to know such sweet families and kids.
