Santa

I had it all planned out it my head, this year we were going to Irvine and take the train to visit Santa and sit on his lap. Well due to the pooring rain that lasted through the 22nd of Dec. 'my plans' had to change. The train was booked on the 23rd and I knew it was going to be packed since it was the first day of no rain. I really wanted this picture with Santa so we headed to the Grove (Outdoor mall in Beverly Hills).


Rhys and Johnathan Valeting at the Grove.



Well every other parent had that same idea to go see Santa, there was a SIX hour wait. Yes SIX! So Kieran just got a photo in front of Santa's House.




Despite not seeing Santa we did have a good evening. Got dinner at the Farmer's Market. Kieran and I took a Trolley ride though the mall. Watched the fountain show.



And they even had it 'snow' it California. Kieran loved it. After a fun evening I still didn't have my Santa photo.




So Christmas eve day. We headed to the local mall, waited in line for an hour.(I was there the week before with the boys, no line, I just walked past because we were taking a cool train ride to see Santa.)

And here is our photo with Santa. Kieran liked it this year, got right on his lap and told him what he wanted for Christmas, a scooter, a wagon, and a little leaf blower. Rhys liked him too.
