Last weekend we visited Frederick Meijer Gardens to see their beautiful Christmas decorations and, of course, Santa. Unfortunately Carter freaked out when we put him on Santa's lap and I had to sneak in the picture to keep Carter from totally losing it. We even gave him Dave's cell phone (normally a huge treat) but even that didn't stop the sobbing. We hurried and snapped this picture and then exited the Santa area.
We also saw an enormous toy train running through the greenhouse. Carter loved following it around the track and looking at the pretty village.
The Gardens also had a beautiful display called "Around The World" which consisted of dozens of decorated Christmas trees representing different countries around the world. Dave's work sponsored the "Spain" tree, so we stopped to take a picture by it.
We also found this cool old fashioned sleigh, which Carter loved because Santa was nowhere in sight with this sleigh.
We also put up our Christmas tree which was a lot of fun for Carter. He is actually quite tame around the tree, he likes to look but seldom tries to take decorations off of it. Here he is helping with the decorating.

Afraid of Santa? What is Carter going to think of clowns the first time that he sees them then? And what about carnies then too? I heard that there might have been a Danish Christmas tree at the Meijer Gardens-were they giving out Gammel Dansk too?
