Breakfast with Santa

Sunday morning we went to Breakfast with Santa with Alice and her parents. The girls were both very excited about it in advance I must admit it was a great time.

Ally was a bit unsure about going to see Santa right away.

But mommy and mama went right up and followed Santa's orders to sit on his lap.

Mrs Claus went and got Ally, took her by the hand and brought her over to us and Santa.

Once there, Ally was all smiles. She sat calmly and told Santa she wanted a dollhouse for Christmas. She has told us she'd also like a jump rope and rocking chair for kitty and baby to share. I have it on good authority that she will get all that she asked for.

The whole gang!

Ally and Alice were adorable holding hands as they walked around the restaurant. They went to get cereal on the buffet together, and over to Santa several times.

It was a great event - Santa sat in his chair in the center of the room, so kids could go talk to him when they wanted and ask questions or whatever.

And this is all of the kids who were there, so it wasn't very crowded at all.

Eventually Santa turned on his boom box (yes a tape deck) and played a few Christmas Songs and danced and led a sing a long to:

Dominick the Donkey

Christmas in Killarney

Winter Wonderland

Jingle Bells

Ally especially wanted to dance, but only if I went with her so here I am dancing with the girls and Santa. I must say it was a little surreal.

Then it was like the kids started to stalk Santa - they followed him around and were stuck to him like glue. I love the look on Ally's face. We think she was fascinated watching him pour and then drink a glass of water.

Seriously this Santa was fabulous.

After Santa left Ally took a break.

Right before we left the girls sat in Santa's chair for a picture.
