"Cookies and Milk with Santa"

One of the benefits of getting a Zoo membership was this: "Cookies and Milk with Santa" members only. We went to Knoxville on Saturday and spent the day with the Whitings! What made it even better... we woke up to snow that morning!
Here we are all waiting in line, we got to see the eagle while waiting. Funny enough that was the only animal we saw at the zoo that day. (Well besides Austin and Jeremy)
These games were for the kids to play while waiting in line to sit on Santa's knee. They had to throw snowballs through the holes.
My kids love the idea of Santa... but when it comes time to sit with him and tell him what they want... they FLIP!!! I guess they are getting lumps of COAL!!!
Here we are having our hot chocolate and cookies. The surrounding tables were set up with crafts, where our kids wrote a letter to Santa and made reindeer ornaments.
Jeremy and Austin having a very TENDER moment.
Yes... Jaxon looks cute and innocent... but... he did knock that santa over.
Little Jovie was falling asleep at Macaroni Grill while sitting in the highchair. Pretty dang cute!
Our kids semi-posing in the foyer of Macaroni Grill!!!
We had a fabulous day! It is always wonderful being a family, but just adds the cherry on top when we also get to be with some of our best friends!
