Christmas in Dahlonega December 10th

I am a little late on this post, I blame Santa.

We met Doug's family in Dahlonega to cut down our Christmas tree and spend the night.  We all had a great time.  Jack and Abby were a little crabby from being sick for a month straight, but other than that, they behaved fairly well.  Well, except Abby refused to nap on the way there and Jack stayed up until 10pm that night, so he was a little "off" the following morning. 

First, we checked out Santa.  Jack flat-out refused to get in his lap.  Even with Eleanor telling him it was ok, he wasn't convinced.  Neither Martha nor Abby were impressed with Santa either.  Eleanor was right at home and told Santa all of her wishes.

After Santa, we headed over to the tree farm.  Abby did take a tiny nap on the way to the tree farm, so we let her sleep in the car.  We used our phones as a baby monitor.  It was a SMALL family tree farm, so don't worry!

From there we went to dinner.  Everything was yummy and all of the children were fairly well behaved.  When we got back to the room it even snowed a bit!!  It was a fabulous evening and we were right on the square of Dahlonega.  So nice.  The following morning we opened presents.  Minus a few melt-downs from the two sibling toddlers, all was good.

Santa!

The stand off.  Who is going first?
Martha was the winner
Abby was not happy
This was the first year Eleanor spoke to Santa
