Visiting Santa at Bass Pro Shops in Nashville, TN

i've been looking forward to this for a little while now.
i think i was the only one.
well, mckinley, jonah, and i.
daddy was actually a little excited himself.
ok, i wasn't the only one.

jett was a little nervous.
jake is too cool for santa...you know, cause he's NINE.

we made a night of it.
nashville bound at 4:30 pm.
didn't get home until 11:45 pm.
it was a good night.


mckinley was standing on the side quietly calling for santa claus.
she was such a sweetie.











bass pro shop's santa's wonderland is a-mazing!
there is so many activities for the kiddos while you wait.

the boys drove the train.






there was a shooting arcade.




jonah wrote a letter to santa.


and even put it in santa's mailbox.


jett and mckinley totally enjoyed the carousel!!
while these pictures didn't turn out completely clear, they are probably my favorite from the night.




after bass pro shops we walked over to the opry mills hotel.
it is so beautiful every day of the year, but even more beautiful at christmastime.


when we got inside we saw puss in boots.


and shrek.
as he was leaving.
{he passed gas on his way out. classy.}


kung fu panda.


it was super chilly outside, but we braved it to go see the nativity scene.

all together now.
ooooohhh! ahhhhhhhh!!
so pretty, right?!

it was such a great night spent together as a family!!!


you didn't see a picture of all four kiddos with santa in this post because it's the front of our christmas card.
you will be getting yours in the mail soon!
and then i'll post it on the blog.
