Meeting Santa and his beloved

We were at Mid Valley Megamall today to see the beautiful Christmas decoration at the mall... and to meet Mr. and Mrs. Claus, in the flesh! When Mummy said Mid Valley, Joshua said, "Is that where we can see Bear in the Big Blue House?" As it turns out, the show "Bear in the Big Blue House" (on Playhouse Disney Channel) has a bear (of course) who lives in a valley called Woodland Valley. Josh noticed the similarity and since he doesn't know of any other valleys, he associated Mid Valley with Woodland Valley! Oh well, no bears here.

Anyway, we were there early. Josh & Jess' cousins were also with us with their mummy and daddy. It was their idea to visit the mall early today to avoid jams; both cars and people. Good idea indeed! We were very impressed by the decorations in the mall. There were gingerbread houses, snowmen, lots of gliterry decorations, etc.

















The most impressive is at the Centre Court as shown above. The decorations are really elaborate.






















Lots of decorative items dangling from the 4 or 5 storey high mall.

















There were performances by dancers in really colourful costumes. They danced well too! Very entertaining... and the kids were very entertained too! Ha! Ha! Ha!

















Yup, Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus in the flesh. Josh and Jess were too afraid to sit on their laps. Hence, you see us on the sides of the couch. It costs RM10 to have a picture taken with them. RM10 also gets us a free Dunkin' Donut, a present from Santa himself and a 4R photo. Not bad at all.

















Here is a picture with Josh, Jess and Amanda. Marc was in the stroller.

















After the photo session, we walked around the huge mall and found a mini carousel. Amanda's daddy droped some coins in and all three of the kids (Marc was not keen on this ride) went for a short spin.

















Here's one with Jess on the horse!
