Hello, Santa

The weekend before Christmas we headed to Marion to see Cookie and Grumps. On the day that we we left we were lucky enough to meet up with our friends, the Courtneys. We met at Edaville on a cold and rainy night, but were treated to a train ride to see the holiday lights and a visit to see Santa:

Without any fear, Caroline hopped on Santa's
lap and let him know that she wanted a Barbie plane.

They look so sweet in this picture. They
may have fooled Santa.

We warmed ourselves with some hot chocolate and then said goodbye to our buddies Pierce and Fitz. As we headed out, however, the girls very nicely asked us to ride the merry go round. It was covered from the rain and it seemed harmless, though it made me painfully aware of how quickly I become nauseous on even the tamest of rides.
