Seeing Santa

I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet...

but Santa showed up at the Bass Pro shop and we decided to go visit him!

(We got a Bass Pro add a few weeks ago that had Santa's picture in it.

Cooper carried it around for days talking about Santa Claus.)

The line wasn't too long but Cooper sat on this while we waited:

And since Mal was with us, she took Cooper to drive a race car while Derek and I were in line.

Then they did some coloring:

Once Cooper got in line with us, he liked watching the train:

...and peeking around people in line trying to catch a glimpse of the Jolly Man in red:

It doesn't really look like it here but Cooper was actually pretty excited about Santa:

Santa asked Cooper about the train on his sweater and then lifted him onto his lap.

Mrs Claus was there too:

Cooper and the Claus Family:

Santa gave Cooper a candy cane too!

We made a craft while we were there:

"Merry ChrisMoose"

Our family with Frosty. We took a picture with him last year too.

Tyler & Lauren came along too and Uncle Ty showed Cooper the big fish:

I wanted a shot of Cooper with his Aunts and Uncle...

Cooper knows not to turn his back on this bear though! :)

Cooper was sound asleep when we put him in the car. Sure sign of a great time!
