We took Matthew for a visit to our local Santa's Village. It was pretty cold (all you northerners can stop laughing) and the line to see Santa was waaaaaaay too long, but Matthew got to do lots of other fun stuff. He had a great time!

 

Seems he has a bit of growing to do before he can fill out the firefighters' uniform.

A photo op with Frosty!
The whole time we were in line for the pony rides Matthew kept saying he didn't want to do it, but the ticket was already bought, so we went for it. Guess what -- he had a great time and was quite upset that he didn't get to do it again!
Sparky the fire-dog is one cool puppy!
