a Santa spotting!

Santa took a break from checking lists and building toys to catch a flight on a C-17 today!  He left the reindeer and elves at the North Pole and landed at the Air Force Base just after lunch.  Lucky for Baby Girl, her daddy has the inside scoop and had us to the flight line just in time. 

Santa taxis in.



can you see him waving in the window?!



Gillian, Grant, Olivia, & Grace wait for Santa's arrival!

A family photo!  Notice anything different and exciting?!

Olivia loved seeing the airplanes.
She kept signing 'airplane' over and over.

There was a mini C-17 on display, too!
She loved climbing in and out of it.

she didn't care too much for sitting on Santa's lap! ha.

What fun to see Christmas through the eyes of children!  Thanks, Santa, for taking time out of your busy schedule to help make our Saturday fun!
