Breakfast with Santa

Our experience last year was so great that we decided to once again have Breakfast with Santa. The money raised goes toward a great cause, there's food and games to entertain the kids, and all the volunteers are incredibly friendly. The best part is that while they are taking the pictures with Santa, not only are you allowed to take a couple with your own camera, but they are more than happy to take several until they feel that they have gotten the best one.

Grandma, Aunt Alyssa, and Uncles Patrick and Matthew joined us for an early breakfast, and then hung out with us while we waited for our number to be called. Norah and Justin were fascinated by everything that was going on around us, and enjoyed playing the games. Before heading in to see Santa, elves sat with the kids and helped them make out a list. When it was our turn to go up and see Santa, both Jeff and I predicted tears from both babies.

Santa held both babies in his lap and we got some pretty good pictures. Neither one cried, and both gave him a hug and blew kisses his way as we left. Norah even wished him a Merry Christmas. It was a fun morning and a really great experience for all of us. We are really looking forward to next year!
