Breakfast with Santa


Saturday morning we headed over to the Normal Community Center to have Breakfast with Santa. Our friends Tami and Mike and their two children went with us. Emily was so excited (to see her friend Emma, not Santa) she could hardly contain her excitement.
When we got there, she got a santa picture and some crayons. Shockingly, she actually sat and colored for a while!
It didn't take long though and her and Emma were off and running!
The ramp over to the left of Emily in this first picture was where they enjoyed themselves the most.




They really liked sitting in Santa's chair (until Santa was in it...see below :)













Even though they were one of the youngest at the breakfast they weren't shy when it came time to get up on stage and sing Christmas carols. Once they stopped eating the bells, they actually had some rhythm.





But then, that scary man Santa had to come and ruin all of their fun :) Once she got off of his lap, the tears stopped immediately, she thanked him for the gift and quickly said bye-bye.
Daddy asked her if she wanted to go sit with him again, and I think before the question was out of his mouth, Emily's quick response was NO! We've got it on video, but I haven't figured out how to upload that yet!
After Santa took off, she was back to her happy self!!
I'm guessing she won't be up waiting this year to see the man in the red suit!!
Happy holidays to everyone!!
