Here Comes Santa Claus!

Today has been an exciting day in Tulsa...Santa Claus has come to town!   

 Our morning started off bright and early with the Christmas Parade!
 Isabella's cheer team got to cheer in the parade!
 Wish I would have gotten a shot from the front to show how excited my kids were to see this guy in the parade.
After the parade we headed home for the little ones to nap while Isabella caught a ride with a friend to the mall to cheer Santa being brought in by helicopter!
 Our night ended at Garden Glow at the beautiful Philbrook Gardens.  Hot chocolate, marshmallows, christmas music, crafts, and of course Santa!
 Making his mitten to hang on the tree.
 Very neat idea to make wildlife ornaments.  We used bagel slices and with peanut butter and birdseed!
 Here she used a pinecone with peanut butter, birdseed, and craisens!
 We hung these on the outdoor trees to decorate and feed the birds. 
 Love this idea!  Fun and easy to do with all ages!
Although he is on call this weekend he snuck away to spend some time with us.  We loved every second of it!

I didn't realize Santa would be here too!  It was a great surprise and the kids got to sit on his lap and have a chat with him about their Christmas wishes.  I wasn't allowed to take a pic of this...boo...but a professional photographer did so hopefully I will be able to share that soon!

I am definitely feeling the Christmas spirit after today.  Seeing Santa so many times and seeing the excitement on my kiddos faces was just what this momma needed!
