Legendary Santa

We spent the morning at the Children's Museum of Richmond visiting the Legendary Santa.  When Amy and I were kids, my parents used to take us to the Legendary Santa so I was determined to see him this year with my girls.  It was so nice and there was hardly a line which was a nice surprise.  The kids met the Snow Queen first and then Santa calls your name when it's time for you to sit on his lap.  I think it's so cool to see the kid's faces when Santa says their name.  Madelyn wanted to stand next to Santa so I think she was taken back when he picked her up and put her on his lap.  Ellie was terrified but it made a good picture!  Madelyn told Santa that she wants a Tangled Barbie and a Barbie movie for Christmas.  Ellie was crying so Madelyn told Santa that Ellie wants a pacifier for Christmas.  Santa then told Ellie that she will get some surprises from him on Christmas morning.  My favorite part was when  Santa told me that he remembers me as a kid which made my day even more special! 

After the picture, the kids walked around the Holiday Village and rode the sleigh train ride outside.  This was the first time Ellie rode a ride without me so it was really fun to watch her have so much fun with her cousin and sister.

Overall, it was a successful morning visiting  the Legendary Santa!

Since there was no line, Madelyn and Cora got to see the Snow Queen again!

Having fun on the ride.  Ellie's first time on a ride without me.  She is usually really scared so I was shocked!

Happy girls!
