Snow and Santa!



We got our first big snowfall of the season on Friday night. We woke up Saturday morning with an inch or two on the ground. We had a good time going to the playground and lunch at Burger King pulling the kids there in the sled while it was still light snow. Then Saturday night was the Santa walk at Suson park. By then, the snow was coming down heavy again and there really weren't very many kids there to visit Santa, I think the snow kept a lot of people away. We hadn't done this event before, I couldn't believe you could actually find any Santas anymore that you could actually take your own snapshots and not pay $7 for a lousy photo taken by the people who hired the Santa. So I thought it was great! Cole was less than thrilled though... Adam sat with Santa but wouldn't tell him what he wanted for Christmas and wouldn't take the toy that Santa's elf offered him. By the time we left the park an hour later it was really snowing hard and it was a long, slow drive home. The next morning we had ~6 inches of snow, so the kids were out playing in it again Sunday morning. Adam really enjoyed it, Cole couldn't get around very well in his jacket and snowsuit, so he got tired of it quick. As usual in St. Louis, this snow won't last long, it will be close to 40 degrees the next couple days, so we have to enjoy it while it lasts!
