Christmas in Clubwest.

We have a tradition in our neighborhood and that is seeing Santa at the Clubhouse. Each year Santa comes and the kids get to visit with him and share what the hope to get from him and get a special treat. Dayne enjoyed talking to Santa and telling him he wants a Smart Cycle. He wants that toy so bad-- he is often seen staring at it at Target, Toys r Us, or anywhere else he might see it. Lylah on the other hand didn't want to sit on his lap- but was willing to be near him sitting on Rich's lap. She did eventually give Santa a high 5 and took a Santa Ducky (she just loves ducks!) from his basket of treats. We followed the visit with Santa with some cake and a fun horse drawn hayride. Now that was a COLD adventure but the kids loved it and had a great time. Rich and I found that we really do need to get snow pants for such events because the kids and other passengers that had snowpant on were just fine! It is events like this that make our neighborhood special. Plus it does help you get in the holiday spirit!

Sounds like our adventure with Santa. Bennett would have nothing to do with him. William did great and totally told Santa what he wanted. We skipped the hayride since it was so cold.
