{ here comes santa claus }

Saturday morning we skipped swimming lessons to visit Santa Claus at the annual Minneapolis Junior League's "Breakfast with Santa". We purchased tickets for it last year and plan to make it an annual tradition since the money goes to a great cause, it includes breakfast, and mainly because we can avoid long lines at the mall to see Santa.

And the best part, the Santa is 100% authentic. Check this guy out.

We took a few minutes to stand nearby and get O & S warmed up to the jolly man. That seemed to work for Oliver.

But he had his work cut out for him in trying to keep Stella on his lap.

It was by no means a major meltdown but she didn't want much to do with him. Pretty sure that if it wasn't for the stuffed animals he was handing out, that she would have gone nowhere near him. Once she had it, she wanted out.

This girls loves herself some stuffed animals. She can't get enough of them.

Compared to Santa, breakfast was a hit.

Family photo time by the Christmas tree was a major fail, but Oliver was semi-cooperative for one with me.

 

We can check our Santa visit off the list for the year!
