Here comes Santa Claus!

Last night was Christmas in Colon. Area churches, restaurants, stores, offices, gas stations, and pharmacy had various things going on. We went to a cookie walk, got free hot cider, doughnuts, appetizers, signed up for drawings and got our family picture taken. Then they closed down the street for the parade. Small town means SMALL parade. This was the longest they've had in awhile and it lasted a whole 3 minutes :) After the parade everyone headed to see Santa at the library. Every year Macey and Kelsey have cried when they have seen Santa and this year they were actually really excited to see him and enjoyed sitting on his lap. Macey asked for a Princess oven, and then after Santa mentioned how she looked like Rapunzel with her long hair, she then wanted a Rapunzel dress. Kelsey asked for a jewelery box and a Snow White dress. Taylie was the last to go and she wasn't happy to be on his lap. She stopped crying after a bit but was happy to come back to mom. Hope Santa still brings her something! :)

I brought the smaller cheap camera along for convenience so the pictures are quite blurry.

Keeping the "Santa" idea going is getting harder every year. Mace is full of questions of "Why did Santa have glasses on this year and not last year?" Then we saw Santa at Walmart today as we were shopping and she asked, "Why does this Santa have dark brown boots on and last night he had black boots on? He doesn't have glasses and he's bigger!" Then when watching the video above, she noticed the lady steering the horses and said, "I think we know that lady! Why would she be with Santa?" The questions are endless and I am not doing the best job of answering all of them because she somehow finds a flaw in my answer everytime.
