Santa at Country Village

A few days after the Lights of Christmas we visited the Country Village in Bothell for their tree lighting and the arrival of Santa. It was a pretty big crowd and Santa came "flying" in on his sleigh with his reindeer (all attached to cable) which was fun for the kids to watch. Their tree lighting was fun too because they had each branch individually wrapped and there were a ton of lights on it. It was a major child mob to get to Santa for a candy cane. We battled oru way through and then browsed a few stores. As we were headed home we noticed Santa was still in the courtyard wishing the last couple of people a Merry Christmas. We took advantage and walked up to say hello. The kids got another candy cane and I got a great Santa picture. Haiely wanted nothing to do with Santa at the lights of Christmas. She warmed up to him a bit for this picture. I think it was all good practice for our traditional Santa picture because there were no tears this year.

Say cheese

candy cane please
