Santa! I Know Him!

 I tried to find out where Santa would be in the Burleson area and apparently WalMart has Santa come visit!  We headed up there last weekend for these pics.  Reece did so great!
 She really liked his beard lol!
 The best one we got :)
 All of them were free!
 This weekend we went to Lone Oak Winery to visit Santa :)
 Reece decided to look, but Santa wasn't...
 And Santa asking Reece if she was a good girl this year and what she wanted for Christmas....he also checked to make sure she knew his address so she could write him :)
 Outside on the patio enjoying the live band playing Christmas music and the yummy wine/brandy :)
 Mike took Reece to check out the alpacas
 Daddy daughter time
 Dancing!
 Family photo!  We met some really great people there and one of the wives took these pics :)
 Cheers!
 They had a hayride that went around the whole winery and the owner was our guide :)
 And now Reece looks and smiles

 Sitting on the hay
 And standing
Towards the end of the hayride and Reece had a 'what you talkin bout willis' look lol!  It was an absolutely amazing day!  Reece did fabulous!  She took a little 30 min nap on Mike and we ended up staying out there all afternoon into the evening :)
