Christmas at Yankee Candle

In Williamsburg there is a Yankee candle outlet that's HUGE! It's actaully a really cool place. They had Santa and Mrs Claus. Last year neither of them would go near Santa without immediate bribes, this year Jackson understood that if he wants a blue bike for Christmas he has to ask the man with the power. Tanner will just do whatever Jackson does.

As I mentioned before, the store was HUGE...and what happens in HUGE places? Tanner disappears. Jackson and Tanner were playing with a Thomas the Train play set and I turned to talk to Jared. When I turned back, Tanner was gone! I started to freak out because I would have gotten lost in this monster store. I didn't even know where to begin looking. All I could think about was either someone snatched him up or he followed somebody out the front door to his death. I had an emplyee call "Code Yellow" and all these people came rushing out asking what Tanner looks like and they started searching the store. Jared found him being held by Mrs. Claus. She said she watched him walk out of the toy area and wander alone so she picked hime up. THANK YOU MRS. CLAUS!!!

In one of the big rooms of this store there was a little bridge with a mini town surrounding it. Every five minutes or so it would snow from the star studded sky. The kids really loved it. I think Jared and I would have liked it too if we weren't so worried about losing one of the little rugrats again.
