Today, we ventured out for an early morning breakfast and visit with Santa sponsored by my employer's employee organization. I have always heard great things about the event and the best part is that Santa gives gifts especially picked out for the kids.
Last year, we went to dinner with Santa and the boys would not get within 50 feet of the big red guy. This year, we got a seat pretty close and the boys were able to watch all the other kids sitting on santa's lap and receiving presents while they ate their breakfast. This was perfect motivation for them to talk about what they were going to discuss with Santa and to get in line. We got to the front for our turn and the boys became all talk! We were able to hold them close enough to Santa for a picture (can't wait to see the picture). They then received a present from Santa with their name on it, which was just awesome for them. (This is where the group does a great job - I'm sure they had a blast shopping for all the kids). Connor got a large Hot Wheels Speed Racar and Brady got a VTech Learning StoryBook.
Upon leaving, the boys also received a personalized snowman ornament and a goodie bag of chocolates, candy canes, hot cocoa, and an orange. Can't go wrong with those kind of treats! We had a really nice time seeing some friends from work with their children and visiting with Santa Claus.
