3 Kids on Santa's Lap

We found Santa in the most adorable little workshop at the Traverse Mountain outlets. We were thrilled...mostly because no one broke down in tears on a stranger's lap. So far, every year has been a win. Santa works his magic on the kids.

and some behind the scenes from my iphone. Because you can't just have one photo from Santa's lap:

Max found a "Nutcwackew", which is his FAVORITE thing. It's what he wants for Christmas.

We found Mrs. Clause reading stories to the children

A stop at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory

We love their friendly bear that greets us at the door every time we visit.
