This morning we had our annual Breakfast with Santa at our Stake Center. I had to go early to help finish setting up and Tony and the kids met me there when it started.
We had ward members bring breakfast casseroles and then I got some muffins from Costco and Milk from Deseret Dairy.
We had a pretty good turn out and ended up with just about the perfect amount of food. I was a little worried we would run out, but we didn't.
After eating and singing we got to see Santa once again. The kids were all sitting in the front of the gym singing and waiting for Santa. It was fun to see Josh and Tyler reaction to when Santa came in. It took them both a minute to figure it out but Josh was really excited when he finally saw him.
We had the kids line up by families and we actually ended up cutting in front because Megan was ready to go home and take a nap.
Tyler and Josh both did really good again sitting and talking with Santa. I wish I was right there to hear what they were saying to him. Mostly Tyler because I am pretty sure Santa had no idea what Josh was saying to him.
Megan was not happy at all with Santa today. She was just too tired and is definitely in that stage of life where she has stranger anxiety. Santa showed her the sucker but that didn't really matter to her. So we quickly scooped her up and tried for a family photo with Santa.
Note to self...NEVER bend over in a photo, it is not a flattering look for me. The person taking the picture didn't zoom in at all so it isn't a very good picture, but hey we got it and no one was crying and everyone was looking forward. So I would say the picture was a success.
Pretty much right after they saw Santa Tony took the kids and went back home while I stayed behind to help pick up.
I thought that we had a really good turn out and it seemed like everyone had a good time and had plenty to eat. It is always a fun event, but now that I am part of the committee that puts it on...I am glad that it's over.
We decided to decorate our gingerbread house (and tree) today that Tony's mom got us. I tried to have Tyler tell me what he wanted me to do and where he wanted the candy placed. Tyler was good at putting on the treats and Josh was good at eating all the treats. Tony and Megan watched for a little while, but then Megan was ready for another nap. Josh didn't want to be part of the picture, so here is Tyler with our beautiful creation (Tyler promptly asked if he could start eating it right after I took the picture).
