The day after we got to Maine, the temperature was a balmy -1 degrees and we were under a blizzard warning. By Monday morning we had received about 18 inches of snow! It was so great to know that we would have a white Christmas. Christmas in Virginia with warm weather and no snow, just isn't the same kind of Christmas.
Entering Kringelville, into Santa's cottage.
On Monday evening, we met my mom after work and made a very special visit to Kringelville to see Santa. Kayleigh had already been to visit Santa, but Tre and Julienne had not. We trudged through the snow to a cleared pathway leading up to Santa's cottage. It was a small red building, jammed packed with people. We waited outside in the bitter cold, until we could finally squeeze into the building. Once inside the toasty bulding of Santa, we waited patiently as Santa heard each child's wished and requests. Santa was perfect; jolly red cheeks, twinkling blue eyes, an immaculate red suit and a beard was a white as the two feet of snow outside the door. He had a kind manner about him and he gave each child individual attention and care.
Tre got to go first and talk with Santa about how he had been a good boy this year. Next was Kayleigh, who sat like abig girl on his lap and even smiled for me to take a picture. Julienne was next, but decided she wasn't having it. She wanted nothing to do with Santa, or sitting on his lap. TJ even took a turn with Santa, to tell how he had been a good boy this year.
Before we left, each child got to sign, or have Mrs. Claus write his or her name in Santa's book.
Each child also got a letter from Kringelville, with their names on the letter. It was a wonderful experience for the kids, and the snow made it absolutely perfect!
