This season, we took two trips to Kraynak's to see Santa Land. The first trip was in early November, during a Christmas shopping trip, and the second trip was in mid-December, so Daddy could come with us.
It was interesting to observe how Ainsley's reaction to Santa Land has changed as she has grown and matured over the past year. Last year, her reaction to the characters could be described as surprise & delight, squealing and jumping as she recognized each scene.
This year, Ainsley displayed more of a sophisticated curiosity, identifying what each character was doing (Grover was riding a motorcycle) and asking where all the music was coming from (hidden speakers somewhere)!
But no matter how you look at it, Santa Land brings Christmas magic for everyone!
