The USO of Missouri does an awesome job of supporting our military families. Recently all military families in the St Louis area had the opportunity to go down to Union Station and meet Santa. This USO sponsored event included a ride down to Union Station via the Metro link. Upon arrival at Union Station each child was handed a red Macy's bag to fill with goodies. The kids got to pick a dvd from a huge selection of titles, and they each received a ticket to select a toy from Santa's Toy shop. The kids were thrilled beyond words. Caleb picked an Air Hog Helicopter, Cody picked a Mustang 2011 Calendar for his room, Camden chose a lego kit, and little miss Catie Beth chose a hot pink purse!
We met Santa and got to tell him what we would like to have for Christmas.
The USO took a picture of each family and gave us a copy! Our picture turned out pretty good!

Catie Beth got her face painted.
The kids made snowman stir sticks for their hot chocolate.
Our Neighbors joined us on our trip to Union Station. They too are a military family. We have really enjoyed getting to know them. Sadly, they are moving this week. As a military family we often say goodbye to good friends and it never gets any easier.
After our trip to Union Station we headed out to Fitz's on the Delmar loop. We had some great food and rootbeer! Fitz's is know for brewing it's own rootbeer.
This is Jamie and I! Catie Beth decided she didn't want to have her picture taken.
I got some cuddle time with little Ellie!
