We have a local shopping center just behind our house. Every year they shops in the center have a big Christmas celebration. Every business has a different activity for the kids, free goodies, and treats.
Since we live away from family and we don't get to participate in family Christmas parties. It sometimes doesn't feel like Christmas with out all of the traditional parties and celebrations. We have tried to make our own special traditions.
A Papa Murphey's just opened in the shopping center and were giving out all kinds of goodies and coupons. Yum!
A hair salon was putting chalk in kids hair. Grant didn't want any color in his hair, but Celeste was cool with some fun pink in her hair.
One store had a real reindeer available to pet. Celeste loves animals and thought the reindeer was really neat.
Another store had cookie decorating with Mrs. Claus. Grant liked this idea except for the decorating part. That kid!
The spa and pool business had ice fishing for the kids. Celeste just wanted the ducks and to play in the water. Grant thought it was really fun.
We had our picture taken with a miniature horse. I think I have an animal lover!
We waited in line to see Santa. It was a really long line, but worth it. Santa was really neat and actually talked to the kids about what they wanted. He was a cute Santa. Grant was a great sport and sat on his lap and told him everything he wanted.
Celeste on the other hand....
