This is Christmas Town to us
Yes 99.9% of the store is breakable. Therefore we opted for two SEPARATE strollers today. We wanted to minimize the damage. It worked out well. Mia just sat back and looked at everything. Ethan was able to get in & out as he pleased.

Santa explains that he has 3 keys: One to unlock the chimneys & doors to deliver toys, one for the toyshop & Reindeer barns, and one to unlock your heart so the magic and love of Christmas can come in and fill it up
Mia has a Santa meltdown
Ok I've got myself back together now...all is well

The black Christmas tree
Look Mama! We found a Guatemalan flag here! Who would have thought a Christmas store would have one???!!
They had fun waving their flags, but got them taken away because they then turned them in "swords"
The giant Santa waves good to us. See you next year Santa!
Today we went to see Santa at the world's largest Christmas store, Bronner's. When we stepped inside Ethan's jaw dropped and his eyes grew. He was in amazement of everything. First thing we did was visit Santa. Ethan sat on his lap but Mia wanted nothing to do with him. Once we were done with that we started looking around. Halfway through the store Ethan was a little concerned because he forgot to ask Santa for something. We asked what it was he forgot to ask for. He said socks, underwear, and undershirts. (Hey... he's practical) We told him that we would write Santa a letter and explain that he forgot to ask for them. It took us 2 & 1/2 hours to make it through the store. They have anything and everything related to Christmas. (Including a black Christmas tree??) After that we went to dinner at Zhender's for their famous chicken. All of ate so much we were miserable. We drove around downtown Frankenmuth to look at the decorations then headed home. It was such a fun day! Seeing the joy & excitement in Ethan and Mia makes me realize how blessed we are to have them in our lives. It also makes me wonder how did I find this joy before they came along?
