Alyssa telling Santa about Jamie the elf! Santa could have acted a little more interested, in my opinion.
Santa giving Ella her candy cane.
The picture of all 3. They would not let us take our own picture from "inside the set" (LAME), so Tim was pretty far away and on the side trying to get a shot. Guess what Isaiah looks like!
MAMA! Look at big sis trying to comfort her:)Well, our weekend has been very eventful. All in all, it has been great! One good thing about being in a new place over the holidays is that there are not nearly as many commitments or events to attend. Therefore, we have had a lot of family together time which is just what we all needed! Anyway, above are our pictures of our visit with Santa. As we suspected, Ella freaked out when we approached Santa, but we decided to scar her for life anyway and make her sit on his lap (it's funny how things change from child #1, huh). As soon as I picked her up, Santa handed her a candy cane and she said "Thank you" and has talked about Santa non-stop ever since. Sugar does wonders for a relationship with a child doesn't it!
Anyway, about our night last night! We decided to go to the Bristol Motor Speedway, which has its "Speedway in Lights" exhibit of Christmas lights each year. It is a tradition for people in this area and sounded like fun, so we headed out about 6:30pm to see it! Little did we know HOW MANY people would be there. NO exaggeration - we did not get home until 11:30pm!!! 5 HOURS to see some stinkin' lights. What was so bad was that once you got in line, you couldn't get out! We were TRAPPED. We didn't even get into the exhibit until after 10 o'clock. Ella conked out about 10 minutes into it and the other 2 made it all the way through! They had port 'o' potties scattered throughout the line and the lady at the ticket booth told us it was the biggest night EVER! We were part of history, huh! Overall, the kids did REALLY well, but 5 hours in the car! SHeesh! But, we did get to drive on the track, which Tim thought was cool! It's a guy thing, I guess.
