Lunch with Santa

Nate is in his pediatrics rotation right now and the office he is with invited us to their Christmas lunch. They did it at a resort that had a "lunch with Santa" They had balloon animals, charicature drawings, and Santa came to see all the kids after we ate lunch. First his sleigh, pulled by all the reindeer landed on the roof, there were a couple of times I thought they were going to fall through the roof! It scared Brynlee, she just about jumped out of her seat and into my lap. About 5 minutes later Santa came in, the kids were all so excited!

I was shocked that Brynlee sat on his lap. She has always been afraid of the mall Santas and won't go near them. She was pretty nervous standing in line so we practiced what she was going to tell Santa that she wants for Christmas. When she got up there, she was pretty quiet but she actually told him that she wants a cash register and a barbie computer. She also told him she wasn't going to leave him any cookies when he asked what kind of cookies she was going to leave. Gracen didn't want to sit on his lap, he was more interested in the "ball" on the Christmas tree!

We were finally able to get them both up there, I am so excited for Christmas!

That sound like so much fun! I am excited for Christmas this year too. I feel like I used to as a kid counting down the days and wondering why it is taking so long!

Caleb was wondering where Santa's sleigh was tonight at the ward party and why he wasn't working at the north pole.

So this waws a family office party? That is so fun. Chris's company does a bar and casino night, so we don't go unless he is being recognized for something and then we skip out after dinner.

How fun! Good job Brynlee. Natali was very brave with the mall Santa as well. Gracen just looks so big! I didn't even attempt it this year with Isaac. Have a great Christmas.
