Santa's Wonderland

On Monday afternoon, we loaded up the kids, met the Crowder family, and headed North to Santa's Wonderland in College Station.

Instead of exchanging Christmas presents among the kiddos, we decided to start a little tradition and all do something fun together.

We sure missed the McClellen family...Jacob's tummy decided to catch the nasty stomach bug and he ended up passing it to his momma!

We ate an early dinner and then headed on over to Santa's Wonderland!

They had a ton of cute little signs with different sayings all along the walkway leading to the entrance and I just loved them!

B&B were soooooooo ready to see all the lights.
And they were bundled up since it was pretty chilly!

Santa's Town was so neat...basically like it's own little town!

It even "snowed" twice while we were there (they have a snow machine) and Brooks, Burkley, Luke, and Hudson LOVED it.

I guess they are going to LOVE it when we go skiing in February!

Our family in front of the huge Texas flag!

Little Miss Burkley wanted to ride the bull...until she got on it!

The Crowder family on the hayride!

My boys in awe of all the lights!

Sweet Hudson!

Burkley wanted to sit with Aunt TT and Luke the entire ride!

Sorry TT!

LOVED this!!!

Burkley LOVING all the lights!

Isn't it beautiful?!?!?

At the end of the hayride, they drive you right past the petting zoo and the pony rides!

So, of course we had to go check out the petting zoo!

It was so funny because one of these little goats was super hungry and started nibbling on Cory's jacket!

If you live in the Houston area, you should so take a trip to Santa's Wonderland.

It really was a wonderland and we will for sure be going back in the years to come.

We had a BLAST!

**Hanna...yes, we did take our children to College Station, home of the "this year winning football team". But, we did all have a pretty good laugh because when we went to eat, it took them at least 15 minutes to get our table ready and it was only 4:30 and the restaurant was not crowded at all. Not sure how many Aggies it took to put 3 highchairs around our table!!!!! Just kidding with you...but really, it did take that long!**
