Our next big adventure was to see this person known as Santa Claus to start learning what the commercial side of Christmas means! Our church sponsored it's annual Donuts with Santa breakfast the first week of December. For some reason, I wasn't aware of it until the last minute (ok the day before!) but was able to squek out 3 tickets for E&R&I to go. We ended up with the best seats in the house: front, center, right next to the stage! What a prime view of Santa, the elves, and carolers.
We ate donuts, drank chocolate milk, did the crafts, danced to the Christmas music, and finally walked up to Santa's sleigh for a picture! I didn't give E&R much time to look at or think about not wanting to sit next to Santa. Fortunately a good friend was there who offered to help us so while she took the camera and got ready to snap a photo, I scooped up R, dropped him down next to Santa, stood E up next to R who then started whimpering a bit and then Santa told me to sit down to and the picture below is how we ended up! No traumatic crying or carrying on this year......but hopefully next year we can get a hint of a smile!!!!!!!! :)
