Santa Claus is Coming to Springfield

I know I already posted the pictures of the kids with Santa, but I'm behind.  Before we did that, we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast.  We really rarely go out to eat, and the kids virtually never do, so this was a special treat for all of us.  :)  It was Charlie's first time in a restaurant, and he was so good!

Here he is waiting for his food.  He's also looking for his toy, which he was unknowingly wearing.  I decided not to post pictures of him eating his eggs and biscuits, because...

let's just say it's not the most appetizing sight.  Yikes.

 Then off to Bass Pro we went!  We went on a weekday, so there really wasn't too big of a line, but we did have to wait a little while.

 Afterwards, we walked around Santa's village and played the little games they had set up (drive a train, shoot a "gun", play with remote control cars, etc.

 And, of course, the carousel.  Charlie sat on the moose for about 20 seconds.

 Emily loved her "wittle deer" and to look at herself in the mirror.  (I don't blame her.  She's super cute.)

 And Andrew.  Well, he's not conventional, this we know.  :)  He has the best time riding around on that thing.  (He chose a polar bear, and gave it a hug when we were leaving.)
