Breakfast with Santa...and Friends!

Lexie was super excited to go to church this Sunday. We told her shortly after church was over, we were going to be going to eat breakfast with Santa. As if it couldn't get any better than that, we invited our neighbors the Nicastros and the Egans to join us. When we pulled up to the Club, Lexie could hardly contain herself. Then, when we walked inside and saw Santa...she was awe struck and could barely move!

Moments after entering the front door, Lexie saw the BIG RED SUIT...she whispered to me.."look mommy, it's Santa"...and her eyes never moved from his sight.
She was a bit hesitant at first, trying to take it all in, but then she went over to tell him what she wanted for Christmas..."snow and some big red jingle bells".

We tried for a picture with Santa, but this was a good as it got. At least Olivia didn't completely lose her mind like we thought she would!

After the kids got to talk to, and take pictures with Santa, it was time for us to move into the dinning room to find out seats. I think we got the best seats in the house! Our table was steps from the dance floor and buffet line! The music was blaring and the kids were THRILLED!!!

The girls were loving the music from the live band...they couldn't take their eyes off of them!

Poor Tomasina was worn out! Too much partying the day before---she was a trooper though--she just couldn't stay awake poor thing!
