Every year since Drake was little we have gone to Winter Wonderland to see Santa. It is one of our favorite Christmas Countdown activities. The scenes are wonderful and remind me of when I was a little girl and my mom took us to a place in Toledo every year. Just like my kids it was one of my favorite things at Christmas. We love the different scenes and have fun finding the hidden mouse in each one. We really love Mrs. Claus baking cookies in the kitchen, Santa's workshop and the Christmas train.
The kids also get to visit with Santa each year. They tell him what they want for Christmas and he tells them stories about the reindeer and what kind of cookies to leave him. Several times "Santa" has known our family personally so he calls the kids by their names and talks to them about people they know. The boys still talk about the year that Santa asked them all about their grandpa. He even knew his name!
It is a wonderful place to see the magic of Christmas in your children's eyes.

Would you believe, we've never been to that? Never really knew anyone who went, or what exactly it was, really! Maybe we'll have to start that next year! Cute pictures of cute kids!
Thanks! You really should go. It lasts until the 19th or 20th I think. Your kids are the perfect age. They would love it!
