We headed out to a local tree farm to visit Santa last night, and had such a great time! We started out with a ride in a covered wagon through the woods, past live reindeer. The wagon took us to a small historical log cabin, where Santa was waiting on the porch to greet us. We followed him into the cozy cabin where the kids each had a turn to talk with Santa and tell him their Christmas wish. After our visit with Santa we enjoyed hot cocoa and roasting marshmallows around a fire outside of the cabin while we waited for the wagon to come back for us.
The kids really loved the whole evening. Kai was so excited when I told him we were going to see Santa, but was quite nervous about it when we were there - he jumped out of his skin when Santa let out a big "ho ho ho!" from the porch! I asked Kai if he has ever celebrated Christmas before, and he said they had special food on Christmas at the orphanage, but he has never received gifts. Interestingly, he did say he knows who Jesus is, and he definitely knows about Santa. What gift to have him home with us this year for Christmas!
