Cookies and Milk with Santa






We all went and waited in snowy weather to see Santa at the Knoxville Zoo on Saturday morning. Santa didn't arrive at the zoo until 11 am, but we were there at 10:40 very eager. It took us 45 minutes in line to finally get up to the tent where Santa sat. We all were FREEZING! Taylor and Carson never once wanted to leave though (only ME!) Adam kept saying how "cool" it was that it was snowing and we were going to see Santa. "Cool" wasn't exactly my thoughts......but nevertheless T and C loved it. Taylor, Carson and Adam all wrote Santa letters this year and have mailed them. Taylor asked for a lovely princess television while Carson asked for a blue microwave. Adam's list (too long to mention) included a riding lawn mower that turned in to a Spiderman motercycle (Carson added the last part). Should be an interesting Christmas!!!!!! We also saw Rudulph (playing Checkers) and T and C dashed to give him a huge reindeer hug. We did some crafts and played some other games, but I was never so excited to get back to the van and start the heat!!!!!!! T and C both cried when their hands burned going from cold to warm! Not sure if they had ever been that cold for that long.

It was freezing!! We didn't stand in line and both of my kids were ready to go after 30 minutes. We caught a glimpse of Santa, grabbed a cookie and headed for the van. By the way, I like Adam's wish list - can't wait to see that riding lawn mower turn into a Spiderman motorcycle this summer!! Ya'll have a Merry Christmas!
