We have the
neatest thing in Idaho Falls and we love to take the kids to every year at Christmastime. We have a really neat street that transforms into "
Candy Cane Lane" and the
grand finale at the end of Candy Cane Lane is an amazing house completely decked out and on the weekends
Santa, Mrs. Claus and a
couple of elves stop by and visit with children and pass out candy canes. They sit outside for hours in the freezing cold and provide this service! It is such a fun
tradition and so neat to live in a community where there are great people, who provide wonder and magic for little ones and not so little ones! Larren and I
love it too!
Jonas had no fear whatsoever, just went right to Santa and sat on his lap happily! It was so cute, Jonas was fascinated with the whole experience and was disappointed when I took him back! Yet Jonas will not go to nursery! Baffling! He cries and cries - like hysterically and both weeks we have tried it, he has been brought to us 20-30 minutes later just screaming - but a huge man with long hair and a beard in pitch black night doesn't bother him at all?!? Hmmm . . . kids are odd ducks that's for sure!
Grace on the other hand - was not so sure! Santa came right over to her and crouched down and while still clinging to my leg she eventually told him what she wanted! So funny the difference in kids, Grace was completely excited until we got up to him and then she just froze!
Then Santa talked to the older girls and Grace really began to relax and warm up as she watched him talk to Savannah and Audrey. We were lucky to catch Santa this year, this was the last night we could so after recital dress rehearsal we stopped by and caught him just before he turned in for the night! It'll be fun to see how Grace and Jonas do next year, it's so neat to see how they change and grow. Savannah and Audrey though by this point absolutely love Santa, they know how fantastic he is!
