The Santa Clause House

We took a trip to Fairbanks and went over to North Pole to let the kids have pictures and storytime with Santa. In North Pole, all of the street lights are shaped and painted like candy canes. I wanted to get out and lick one, but due to the sub-zero temperatures, decided it would be a Christmas memory I don't really need to have. If I would have been "triple dog dared" that might have have been different! This hall's walls are covered with letters that kids have written to Santa at the North Pole.
Rachel's favorite animal is a moose. I don't really know what sound a moose makes, so it's hard to have a moose on Old MacDonald's farm.

Bridger looks sooooo excited! He planted himself here and flat refused to go see Santa. Baa Humbug! Good thing the hotel had a swimming pool so he was still able to enjoy himself.

Here's Rachel and Porter with the big guy.

We're making progress! Molly SCREAMED when we handed her to the Santa at the church, here she just got a little concerned.

I love the family, but the elves look kind of psycho!

We're not sure if this is Dasher or Comet or Cupid, because they put up 10 layers of fencing since the last time we were there! We could hardly see the reindeer.

Molly is DONE! She's ready to get out of the cold!

Thanksgiving!

OK - So, I'm really behind on posting! Here's some pictures from Thanksgiving, I'll post Christmas really soon!

Rachel & Lakell

Landon & Branson

Porter & Bridger

Molly.... mmmm good grub!

Close encounters with the furry kind!

The other day, Bridger started yelling in his room. I finally went in and lifted up his curtain to find just a big patch of brown hair leaning against the glass.
Since we've gotten a lot of snow, I guess this grass was prime real estate!

This moose wasn't too thrilled with the papparazzi and wandered off.
