Last Friday, Daddy had the day off from work so we met up with Jacob's friend Anna (he says it more like Nanny) at Willow Bend to meet Santa. This is the same place we visited Santa last year, but Jacob was more able to enjoy the Polar Express theme this year! Unfortunately, our scanner doesn't work with our new computer yet (or should I say, just isn't hooked up correctly yet) so I'll try to scan in the official Santa picture later. It was amazing to see how much Jacob has grown!

Jacob and Anna posing before the real posing began!

This year, Jacob actually played with all of the train gear. Last year, he was sequestered to his stroller!

After visiting Santa, we took a detour to the play area. It was pretty crowded, but Jacob and Anna did a good job of continually finding each other in the sea of kids!

Before we left the mall to have lunch at Tin Star (no worries, our picky eater didn't starve, Momma packed him a lunch!) the kiddos took a little ride in one of the cars outside the play area. They had a blast!
