Ho Ho Ho

There we were, one evening, driving along the interstate, through construction, at a snails pace, when suddenly, at the same time, we both let out a gasp! Could it be? Do you see what I see? Oh yes I do! The official Santa headquarters...alias Bass Pro Shop, off to our left, beautifully visible at dark, all lit up like a Winter Wonderland! Yep, this was the sure sign that the big guy was back! Ho Ho Ho, we could hardly wait to get home and find out when Santa would be welcoming guests! I think we were some of the his very first visitors this year, and it was ohhhhh sooooo much fun...

Santa, I've just never seen anyone with a beard like yours...

but I guess it's ok, so I'll smile so my mom can get a good picture...

this motion activated talking reindeer took us by surprise and cracked us up!

this Carousel was a GREAT new addition to Santa's headquarters this year!

just to be sure ...we'll send Santa a "master list"!

Kayli impressed this big elf with her archery skills...

there was a cute little Santa ornament to make and take...

This place is sooo festive...

Kayli just had to check out the "snow" on the trees...

one more time on the carousel. This time, on a moose...

and, we couldn't come here without stopping to eat dinner in our favorite cafe and getting "dirt pudding with gummy worms" for dessert!

what a great visit to "Santa's headquarters!"
