Breakfast with Santa

This year, we decided to go to a Breakfast with Santa event for our annual visit with the big guy in red.

Unfortunately, I guess I wasn't quite clear enough with Ms. Keeley about EXACTLY what that meant, and as soon as she realized she wouldn't actually be sitting at a table with Santa, breaking bread, she burst into tears in such an unrecoverable way, that she refused to even visit with him when it was our turn. Lesson learned.

Luken was very excited for his visit, though! Photobucket

We ate our pancake breakfast after Luken chatted with Santa, then set off to discover the other fun at the event.

Writing a letter to Santa!

Keeley, who was fresh off her trauma and embarrassment, opted to simply thank Santa for last year's gifts. :)

Luken knew just what to write!

Keeley mailed hers off to the North Pole! (I'm sure Luken did, too. Just did not capture that moment on film!)

They did a few other crafts, including making a bracelet, and getting some reindeer food to set out on Christmas Eve!

Aside from the early confusion with Keeley, it was a nice visit, and I'm sure things will go more smoothly next year. :D
