Last Saturday morning was one of our favorite events of the holiday season, breakfast with Santa. One of my customers puts on the breakfast each year, and it’s a wonderful morning with great food, arts and crafts, and of course, a visit from the big guy.
This year marked a turning point for us; Aliya decided that she’d rather go to her ice skating lesson and her Girl Scout meeting for the critical vote on sashes vs. vests instead of the Santa breakfast. Kind of sad but I guess she’s growing up. (Quite a change from this: http://lockmommy.blogspot.com/2007/11/santa-claus-is-comin-to-town.html.) Adlani is an old pro now, and Norah kept saying that she was not going to be afraid of Santa this year. She was pretty good but she needed a little encouragement when it was time to sit on Santa’s lap (see below).
Now it really feels like the holiday season has begun…and I’m not nearly ready!!!
