Santa at the Orchard House

We visited Santa at the Orchard House for our fourth consecutive year. the folks at the Orchard House really put on a big production for Christmas. And they are located about 2 miles from our house. This year, Clyde the camel joined in on the fun. I had no idea that camels were so friendly. He gave all of the kids big sloppy kisses and ate ice from their hands.

This year Mrs. Claus joined Santa at the Orchard House. This year Elena was able to tell Santa what she wanted for Christmas. She had to repeat herself because she was talking so fast, but I think he got the message. After telling him what she wanted for Christmas, all of her bravery was spent. She refused to ask him for a candy cane.

She also refused to wear a funny hat or pose for pictures after chatting with Santa. Fortunately Marcus was game.
