Bowling and Santa

The week before Christmas we decided to get out of the house and have some family fun. After Thanksgiving we all took turns getting sick and so after being cooped up for a few weeks it was nice to get out. We went bowling. It was fun, but the lane that we got was pretty warped or something... we all did pretty badly. Everett's favorite part was watching the ball come back up the return machine. :)

We walked around the Riverwoods afterwards and ran into Santa. We decided to let the kids go sit on his lap. Claire was a little nervous and had to be gently pushed closer. :) They both were able to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas though (a toy butterfly and a toy turtle). Love our kids. :)
