Christmas On Mars 2

Christmas in our home town can be quite magical and this is mostly due to a local Bank owner who loves to enrich our community.  We are so grateful for the experiences he has provided for our family.  Last year the Bear Hotel was transformed into Christmas on Mars and this year it returned with a few new twists.  

Here is one of the local "cracknackers" (this is what Aiden used to call nutcrackers).  These are set up downtown on every corner.  We love it when they come out every year.  We drive up and down the streets to see their smiling faces.

Every year visiting Santa is a unique experience.  Aiden was eager to sit on Santa's lap and discuss his Christmas wishes.  Brooklyn was a little timid, but did sit on his lap this year and tell Santa she was excited for a princess Christmas.  Caitlin followed in her siblings footsteps and acted tortured for the whole three seconds she was on his lap for the annual photo.  

Can you say, "GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!!!"

As we travelled through Mars, we were able to walk through the martians spaceship, turn martian cookies in to real ones at Mrs. Claus' Kitchen, Visit Big foot's home, and play some fun martian games.  We loved every minute and can't wait to see what the Bear Hotel will be transformed into next year.

Merry Christmas from the Bear Hotel!
