Winter Wonderlights

We visited the Winter Wonderlights Exhibit at The Wilderness Experience Museum. After walking down Candy Cane Lane through a beautiful display of lights (sparkling snowmen, gingerbread men, candy canes, polar bears and much more), we made our way to the Elves Workshop, where the girls wrote letters to Santa. Talia asked for a doll and a phone, and Nadia asked for a doll. The girls then created reindeer from tracings of their hands and feet and then headed off to see Santa.


On the way to meet Santa, Talia and Nadia mailed their letters to the North Pole at the Polar Bear Post and then were surprised by two of Santa's reindeer and several of his Elves. Talia even met an elf that sewed the dresses for the dolls that the other elves make. She thought this was really neat! After being greeted by Mrs. Claus, the girls had the chance to meet with Santa. Surprisingly, and for the first time, BOTH girls sat on Santa's lap. They restated their wishes and he reminded them to be good, help mommy and daddy and clean up their toys.


What a night! Merry Christmas!
