Santa's Wonderland 2011

 This is quickly becoming our favorite Christmas event. Now that the boys are passed baby stage it's even more fun. They run in awe to see all of the stuff and they get so excited! And Terry and I have so much fun watching them get excited. It really is a wonderland to them. Anyone who lives in Houston and still hasn't made the trek out here- you MUST go!!

We were warned that the lines are longer than ever this year (Thanks Crystal!) so we made sure to be there before it opened. We got to hang out near the tree-lined entrance for a while.

 Look at this sweet face!
 And this goofy one!

 Terry snapped this shot under the first tunnel the hayride goes thru. If you don't count the nativity and ressurrection scenes at the very end, this is my favorite part. That first tunnel that gets you all excited for what's to come!

 Micah didn't wanna get too close to the Snow Man, but Caleb was happy to!
 I love the new food area. It's cozy to eat in front of the fire with this wall of blue lights in the background.
It's hard to see in this picture, but the boys loooved the Alamo display since they could remember seeing the Alamo in person this passed Summer.

The hayride behind us sang carols most of the way through the ride. It was cute.





 Micah wanted to ride the Mechanical Bull. He positively hated it during the ride.

 Click on the pic below because you just have to see the poor guy's face up close!
 The very next morning he told me he loved riding the bull and he couldn't wait to do it again! Now it's all he talks about!

 After dinner they started getting really tired and ready to go. Here's proof of their waning spirits.







 Can't wait to go back next year!!!

Oh my word...their expressions throughout the night are so great! I especially love the bull ride and the "we're exhausted" pics.
