Christmas on Mars

Did you know that Earth isn't the only planet that Santa visits? It is true he also visits the aliens on Mars too.  I know I didn't believe it either until I witnessed it first hand.  We were fortunate enough to be able to experience the Christmas on Mars exhibit made possible by one of our local bank owners.  I love that our small town has so many fun things for our kids to do.  Here is a glimpse of our fun time with the Martians on Mars.  



Here is the space ship that Santa uses to get to Mars.  Aiden loved going through it and pressing all the buttons and controls.

Here are some various activities from Mars.  Brooklyn's favorite was making cookies for the Martians.  Aiden loved playing Martian games and racing the Hex bugs.


Family Photo Op!



The other highlight of our (well some of us anyway) Christmas on Mars experience was seeing Santa.  Aiden was very excited and willing to sit on Santa's lap.  Brooklyn however, would have nothing of it.  In fact he asked daddy to get her "pink computer" from Santa for her.  Luckily she accepted the fact that he didn't have it right now but would bring in on Christmas.  She cracks me up.  

Caitlin's first picture with Santa.  

We had a blast on Mars and can't wait to see what next years experience will be like!
