Merry Christmas from American Family

Today we woke up and headed to American Family for their annual employee Christmas. (Totally forgot about St. Nick coming to visit in the process.) We had never been to this before so we had no idea what to expect. They had many characters walking around to greet the children. Frosty (below), a penguin, a reindeer, and Bucky (unfortunately we missed him). The boys seemed to love these guys but when it came time to go by them, they both clung to me. Jacob did take a liking to the reindeer though, giving him a hug out of nowhere (too quick for us to catch a picture.)
Then we went to say hi to Santa and Mrs. Claus. Evan had no fear and went right up to Santa. Jacob, on the other hand, would not sit with him.

We did coax Jacob to hold Mrs. Claus's hand (and my finger, if you look closely) so we could get a quick picture of everyone together. Yeah!


There were lots of displays, handouts, tattoos, face painting, and caricature artists... all free. Jacob's favorite thing was receiving a toothbrush. Needless to say we had a lot of fun.

Below is Evan taking a bunny from one of the displays and running off with it.



Below Jacob is checking out his cool Green Bay Packers logo.


Thought these were funny so I took a picture of the caricature drawing of the boys. Take a look at Jacob's eyebrows in the picture above and then below.... pretty close.
