Breakfast with Santa

Well the Christmas season has officially begun. This month is going to be filled with family get togethers, lots of delicious food, presents all around, trips to see Santa, driving around to look at lights and lots of Christmas carols.
This year is pretty exciting since Samuel is so into Christmas. He is really curious about Santa and just exactly how he will fit down our chimney. We have the conversations at least once a day that Santa is magical and will be able to go both up and down the chimney with the presents! He is also worried about the reindeer landing on the roof and falling because it has snow and is slippery. Oh the worries of a three year old.
This weekend we kicked off the Christmas season by going to have breakfast with Santa and pick out our Christmas tree. At the breakfast the kids ate and were able to make some Christmas crafts. Both Samuel and Liam were pretty excited when Santa showed up and quickly got in line to see him. Samuel has been talking nonstop about seeing Santa and telling him what he wants for Christmas. But when the moment came the excitement turned into anxiety and neither Samuel nor Liam wanted anything to do with the big scary man in red.
Samuel hid behind Mike and Liam clung to him with all his might. Once they moved away Samuel started yelling to Santa what he wanted. Pretty cute! Maybe next time we will be a bit braver!
We then headed out to pick out our tree. We found the perfect tree which now resides in our living room. More pictures to come...
