This Christmas was extra special to us because we got to have Mimi & Papa in Arizona at our house all to ourselves! We had so much non stop fun with them!

We went to Bass Pro Shops to get a picture of the kids with Santa but not knowing you had to make a reservation we were turned away. So we spent about an hour just looking around the store and checking out all the animals and fish. Next year I know to make a reservation before we drive over there...

We also went bowling at FlipSide. My Dad was thrilled to bowl with the boys. ;) We all had such a fun time and were all terrible in our bowling game that day.

Christmas Eve a few of my friends told me about a Santa that would come by on Christmas Eve for only $25. So I booked him a few weeks ago not knowing how he'd be or what he'd look like. I'm not going to lie, he was a little creepy but the kids loved seeing him and sitting on his lap to tell him what they want for Christmas.
