The Beginning of the Christmas Season

We were invited by some friends of Louis' to go over to their house to see Santa. It was a neat idea, they had Santa ride up on horse drawn carriage and surprise the kids. Unfortunately, it was cold and incredibly foggy, but still very neat. I was interested to see how the girls would like Santa this year since they didn't really know what was going on last year when they met him. We prepared by reading books about Santa. The girls did pretty well. They weren't crazy about him, yet they didn't cry either.
