A visit with Santa!

Sunday December 8, 2013 we headed over to the MN Zoo for Snack with Santa. This is a great program that the zoo has for their member's. They provide snacks, art projects, and the kids can make an ornament for their tree. Santa then comes table to table to chat with your kids and to get some pictures.

We have seen Santa from afar numerous times this year at the mall. Everytime I ask Hudson if he would like to go sit on his lap and I always receive a quick "no". We were a little worried at how he would do this year but once again it was a success. They have a zoo volunteer ask you your child's name so when Santa comes over he can address your child directly. He asked Hudson what he wanted for christmas and of course his response was Tractor's :) This year they gave out little stuffed Tapper's to the kids. He then had Hudson come sit up on his lap so we could take that tag off :) Worked like a charm. I was able to get pictures of Hudson & Santa, the whole family & Santa, and Mila & Santa. If you are a member of the MN Zoo, I highly recommend checking this out. It makes for a much more enjoyable experience with Santa vs. standing in line at the mall. We will definitely do this again next year!
