This was the scene on our way to see Santa. We picked Audra up from school and met Jamie out in Burlington. We figured before dinner would be a good time to see Santa and avoid the weekend crazy lineup. I should have known that these naps may not lead to happy children.
Sadly the best picture out of 10-15 they took. Eleanor was not a fan of Santa and Audra played shy. A far cry from last years picture.
The tears dried up pretty quick once we left the man in the red suit. And Audra was so excited to ride the merry go round. Eleanor enjoyed herself too. Too bad my phone didn't get the best pictures. They were big smiles of joy and happiness, compared to the Santa picture.
We also went to a Santa breakfast, put on by the Flamborough Kins club, out in Millgrove. We brought a big bag of food donations and had a blast. The breakfast was fantastic. There were crafts and pictures with Santa (another flop, no smiles, more tears). They each got to decorate a frame for their Santa pictures.Made ornaments and decorated cookies.
It was a great morning and I for one, am looking forward to doing it again next year. It was a new tradition for us, and one that I would like to continue. It was great to be able to donate, and help some families out for christmas.
