Santa is in Town

Yesterday afternoon Thomas, Natalie, Cali, Ashton, Steve, and I went to Bass Pro Shops because we heard Santa was in town!  We weren't disappointed; he wanted to talk to all of the children and have his picture taken with each one of them. 

After waiting in line for awhile it was finally Cali and
Ashton's turn to talk to Santa.  They told him
what they wanted for Christmas.  Now we just
have to wait and see if they've been nice enough
to get all those presents they want.

Grandpa had a chance to relax at Bass Pro Shops while
we waited for The Ellsworths to arrive.

It seemed like everyone who came through the
doors of Bass stopped and had their picture taken
by this pretty fireplace.  The Ellsworths were
no exception.

Cali and Ashton are standing

after speaking to Santa.

Everyone had fun playing the games
 at Bass even Grandpa.

Doesn't she look cute sitting in a winter wonderland?

Ashton enjoyed looking at the big
fish tank next to the Bass Pro Shops.  The
big ornaments were so colorful and pretty.

Two happy grandkids by the fish tank!

Santa stopped by our house yesterday to drop
off two early Christmas gifts for the twins.  He left
a note saying he would be at the hospital on Sunday
to visit and take pictures of them too.  He's such a
nice guy to remember all the children even the
ones that can't be home for Christmas.
