Sights and Sounds - It's back!

Sights and sounds is one of our favorite things over the holidays. It was cancelled last year because of Covid, so we were pumped to be back!

The whole crew joined in on the fun - Shorts, Gates, Devlins, Kasprzaks and Langs. 

The whole group - minus Emmy. They joined us a little later

When we got there, we went straight for Santa to stand our post because we didn't want to wait in a super long line. Turns out not many people line up an hour before Santa, so we were the first there! Stephen and I took turns riding the carousel with the boys and the guys went out to grab snacks while we waited.

Santa was a little late and the kids were getting pretty restless. They didn't eat much except for cotton candy so things were getting rowdy lol.

He's here! Santa's here! We had been talking with the boys about Santa for weeks. We practiced what we were going to tell Santa when he asks what they want for Christmas. They . were . pumped.

As our turn approached, Miles was ready to go. So ready he just pranced right up there and put on a huge smile for his photo with Santa. Carson? Well... Carson had change of heart. Like a cat being put in water... resisting with all his might. We didn't push it. He waived and told Santa (very softly) what he wanted for Christmas and we called it a win.

Total winner here. Such a cutie :)

After Santa, we played at the playground with the whole group, checked out the light displays, said a very quick hi and bye to the petting zoo (boys NOT a fan) and, of course, funnel cakes for the win. (You are correct - the kids had cotton candy and funnel cake for dinner). 

At this point, the boys were pooped. So we said bye to the big kids as they went to enjoy all the festival rides. We had a total blast and can't wait for next year when the boys will be big enough to ride a couple rides themselves. Movin on up!

ps. Don't worry. The boys ate apples and a PB&J on the way home. We're not THAT terrible. lol
