Yesterday we had a great Thanksgiving day meal with a wonderful family, the Andersens. We love this time of year and have a lot to be grateful for: family, health, home and friends (and so much more).
For Black Friday, we kept things simple and went to see Santa's arrival at the University Mall in Orem. Above you might be able to make out Santa's hand waiving out of the window of the helicopter. We were a bit surprised at the force of the wind that stirred up. Benjamin was a little scared, but handled it all well.
Here are Santa and Mrs. Clause being assisted out of the helicopter and below, we got another wave.
While we waited for Santa to come round to our area, Benjamin saw the Build-a-Bear and went right up to him for a bear-hug. He was so adorable, not wanting to let go of the bear, but cuddled happily in his arms. So sweet!
When Santa arrived at our group, he picked Benjamin out of the kids around for an individual shot. Lucky Benjamin! We were happy that he didn't freak out or cry, but was curious.
We even saw Mrs. Clause. She was trailing behind Santa a bit and we heard him call out "come along Mrs. Clause". It made us chuckle. We had an overall good experience and think Benjamin enjoyed the festivities.
