I know, it’s shocking. But we did. We left the farm and travelled to see Santa at one of the Yankee Candle flagship stores in Williamsburg. Yikes.
It was incredible. Rooms and rooms and rooms full of candles. I didn’t even buy ONE. I mean, how could I possibly choose? So I decided to focus on the Dylan’s Candy Bar located inside the store instead.
These are the unscented candles.
Ha! Gotcha. Just kidding…
You get to fill ‘em up. I bet these smell realllllll goooood.
No offense to Blaine.
The store itself was beautiful, of course. But then… BUT THEN….
The “village”.
It was like a little town right inside the store. With a cloudy blue sky and everything.
I usually blog from outside in the country. Today I’m blogging from inside, in the city, in a place made to look like outside. Hmmmm.
Here’s Santa to distract us from that complicated thought. Santa!!
Then the magical room. The room in which it snows. Snow! Inside!
No, I haven’t ingested anything strange. Why do you ask?
This should hold us until we get out among civilization again in approximately 361 days.
I LOVE that place, it’s just magical. The first pic on here of you is such a great pic!
Shelby took it!
I love red heads since my grandsons have red hair. They live in Germany with my military son and will be here next for a little vacation with us. I am super excited since this is there first Christmas here in about 5 years. We plan a big deal with both our kids and there families here. Our daughter lives here in Ruskin with her farmer husband.
That is sooo cool! I love it all – the village, Santa, the snow. Now why oh why didn’t they have cool stuff like that when we were kids. I remember one year our Santa had on a plastic mask- I am not kidding- he was scary!!
Looks like the kidos had a great time!
Angelena,
That sounds like a blog post! A Santa in a plastic mask??? That’s the stuff of little kid nightmares!
Thanks for the Yankee coupon on here!
This made me want to gather up all the grandchildren and head over to the burg! I really do miss working in Colonial Williamsburg especially this time of the year….it was so pretty and almost magical……
What a beautiful place!! And snow???? How cool is that! Magical!
I need to visit a place like that…to thaw out! Suppose to be bitter bitter cold tonight and next several days!
One of the most fun days I’ve had in quite some time. I wouldn’t trade this day for anything.
Love you all!!!
OMG. I want to go! Its only what, 10 hours away.
I know I say this constantly, but your kids are just gorgeous. Like, Gap Kids Ad gorgeous.
If I wasn’t such a Scrooge I would love to visit that place. Beautiful pictures. The one of all your kids on Santa’s lap is wonderful!
That place looks so cool! I want to go there! Too bad its really far away from me
Also, you should know that anytime I see a pic of your two littlest ones together, it makes me want another myself. They look like they are going to have such fun growing up together and being so close in age. If I get pregnant again soon I’m blaming it all on your blogging pics of your precious children.
haha!
