On Saturday, Charlotte’s school had “Breakfast with Santa”, where the kids could all have breakfast, do some arts & crafts, and sit on Santa’s lap. Given Charlotte’s reaction last year when we ran into Santa at Home Depot (in a nut shell, she was shaking and crying uncontrollably…sheer hysteria), I didn’t have very high hopes. But I thought maybe we could have some family fun and get some cute pics of the kids NEAR Santa, at least…we did have fun, but not so much time was spent with Santa, haha.
Henry was so excited to be sitting at the “big kid” tables on a chair, although you wouldn’t really know it from his expression!
Once he realized there was food, he went to town!
And then Henry started his bagel hoarding…he was simply going from plate to plate, and stealing bagels. I think the other parents probably thought we had never fed the poor kid!
Henry’s stash
Thoroughly enjoying his day :)
Charlotte was excited :)
Now Henry is smiling (of course, not in the same picture)!
Bad attempt of a picture of me with the kids
Pathetic that this is the best we could do, haha
Kisses
Henry with daddy
Story time
Henry looks unimpressed by the book :)
Henry kept on trying to remove the Nutcracker’s nose!
And then he was dancing (all by himself in the middle of the room) to the Christmas music, bagel in hand of course
Time for the main event! Santa’s coming :)
There he is!
What is that?!
You know she is excited when her tongue comes out, haha
I asked Charlotte if she wanted to sit on Santa’s lap, and this is the reaction I got…she ran to the side of the room, as far away from Santa as she could possibly get ;)
Haha, such attitude
Saying “don’t ask me again!” when I tried one last time :)
So we decided to just try to see if Henry would sit with Santa…he lasted all about 4 seconds. He started to flail and almost hit Santa in the nose with his head, and then he used his brut strength to try to wrestle himself out of Santa’s grip!
Then he did the same thing to me…he had some more dancing and/or bagel stealing to attend to!
All in all, a very successful visit to see Santa, haha :)
Xoxoxo
