Cookie and Comet and Santa and Sleigh Rides ( er....sorta)

So, Audrey found Cookie outside riding Comet our reindeer this morning....but it was much too cold to keep Cookie outside, so we brought her in and let her sit on the wreath while Audrey was in school.

Today, I finished the cute trail size snowman bar wraps and made a few scarves for Audreys teachers.
This evening, we met the Natales at the Silver Spring Fire Hall.
The weather went from "no need to wear a coat" to "frikkin freezing" by the time 6 pm rolled around.

We stood in line for a sleigh ride, but realized after 40 minutes in line, that the rides were taking a little longer than we thought, so we decided to skip the ride and go inside.
Inside, we found a shortened line to see Santa. We wrote him a letter during our wait. He gave us an orange and a candy cane for stopping by.

The event was nice. they had a chorus and band, crafts and free hot chocolate.  

We will get a sleigh ride eventually, but the visit with the Big Man was worth the trip.

PS: what did Audreys list say....Doc McStuffins....who else?  LOL!
