Breakfast with Santa

Last year for Christmas we did the Polar Express in Heber and it was fun, everyone really enjoyed it. This year we decided to mix things up a little and do something different so we saw Santa at Thanksgiving Point's "Breakfast with Santa'. Just thought that it is worth mentioning that Dylan wore this hat the entire day, he was so funny about it and wouldn't take it off for anything. He spent the rest of the day at my house with the kids and he even insisted on wearing it during his nap. (he told me because his daddy gave it to him.)

We had quite a group with us this year: Grandma Kathy, Aunt Rolene and Jeanine, Kyle, Dylan, Luke, Bailey and Reagan. The breakfast was only so so but the activities and entertainment made it worth it. They had a wide variety of things for the kids to do while they were waiting for the "Big man in Red" to show up.


We decorated yummy sugar cookies, talked to the Ginger Bread man, had our photo taken with the grinch, the girls had their faces painted while the boys participated in a few "reindeer games". I was going to include the photo of the kids with the Grinch, who promised the children that he has had a change of heart and that he is no longer grinchy. But Reagan wouldn't go near him. When I asked her about it she told me that she doesn't like him and that the Grinch could be a "Stranger Danger" because she doesn't know who is in the Grinchy suit. Bailey on the other hand was petting his fur and asking if she could see if his heart had actually grown since becoming a good guy.

While waiting in line for Santa they had booths set up with paper and pencils so the kids could write down their wish list. Bug wrote down that she'd like an American Girl doll, some puzzles of the continents and a few Early reader books. Luke knew just off the top of his head what he needed for christmas, SUPERHEROS, so he didn't have to write anything down. Dylan asked for a bike, which he's wanted FOREVER. But his dad told him he couldn't have one until he pooped in the potty so he thought he'd try to convince Santa instead. My cute niece Reagan came already prepared with one that she had made at home earlier that morning with her mom.

(I know, so cute!)

The girls followed the "Sugar Plum Fairy' around until she would pose for a picture. I not quite sure but I think Kyle was following her too. She was really cute! It turned out to be a really fun day!
