Sunny Saturday with Santa

Eva G got to go on a really fun nature walk with Santa. It was a great way to spend a Saturday morning. One of Santa's helpers read The Night Before Christmas and we got to jingle bells each time we heard a word that related to nature. After the story, Santa came in and each kid got a chance to sit on his lap. Eva G wasn't too excited about this (she wanted nothing to do with Santa when we saw him a couple of weeks earlier), but she went up with daddy and actually liked Santa. Each kid got a reindeer name before we headed out for our walk. Eva's name was Sage. Santa was so knowledgeable about all of the things we saw as we took our walk. He talked about the gifts that nature gives both to animals and humans. Just before the end of the walk, his big sack was waiting on a bench and it was filled with birdseed that the kids got to share with the birds. Before we left we were already making plans to go again next year!
