Santa Claus, IN

With all that comes along with Christmas it has been a little while since I have posted. So I am hoping as things start settling down I will become more consistent :)

About 2 weeks ago Eric and I wanted to take the kids for a fun little Christmas adventure. There is a town not too far from here called Santa Claus, IN. We have gone there since we have moved here and have always had a lot of fun with it.

 We thought it would be a good idea to bring some yummy treats along for the ride. We had eaten dinner before we left but wanted to bring our sweet with us. We all really like these Oreo truffles that I have made a few times so we took these with us. The night before I had the boys help me making them. Because you have to crush a whole package of Oreos I thought this would be fun for them to do. So I spilt up the package, put them in baggies and let them crush them however they wanted too. They had a lot of fun with this activity, and saved me from quiet a bit of work :)

We put our treats in the football tray, and when we were ready to leave the boys did not let us forget. They ran to the frig and both had to carry the treats out to the car to see the lights and Santa.

Because we didn't have a chance to go earlier because of Eric's work schedule we went the weekend before Christmas. The traffic was a little crazy and we had to wait in a pretty big line before we were able to drive through the lights. The boys are a little restless but when we were able to drive through they really loved it and the treats were a nice touch.

After the lights we drove over to the Christmas store. Thomas really wanted to see Santa and tell him what he wanted for Christmas...A Megatron Transformer. They were both a little shy but they didn't cry so that was nice and were able to tell Santa one thing they wanted for Christmas. It was a really fun night for all of us and was fun to see the boys so excited for Christmas :)
