Christmas In July 2009

We did see Santa this year.

In July...at his home base...The North Pole.

Guy hugged him and said, "I love you, Santa."

Scarlett was thrilled to see him, but preferred to wave and shout out his name,

instead of sitting on his lap.

{We did see one of Santa's "helpers" at a store yesterday.

Scarlett, decked out in her own Santa outfit climbed right onto his lap,

and was tickled pink to have her own special time with Santa.}

Autumn pretty much reacted the same way she did in July.

Here is Scarlett, Guy, and cousin Jack cooling off their noggins

on the eternally frozen "pole".

And here's our family beating the heat at the North Pole.

Visiting this special amusement park in Colorado

is a long-standing Christensen tradition.

The kids still talk about it.
