Thank you Daily Herald for bringing Santa and his reindeer to the nearby conservatory! We had a great time making a snowman craft...

Sitting nicely for a picture with the pointsettias (rare moment).

#1 was weary about sitting on Santa's lap but once he was told that he would get a cookie, he was ALL smiles!

We watched the electric train for awhile because trains are awesome!

#1 discovered that he likes candy canes.

And I discovered that reindeer are not very big.

I think #1 found everything he was looking for today!
