Breakfast with Santa

We joined Brian's family for Breakfast with Santa last Saturday and had a great time! Patrick was very excited about seeing Santa... for the last few weeks, every time we asked him what he was going to tell Santa he wanted - he said a "power pal." Neither Brian nor I knew what that was - so when I casually asked "Patrick, what does a power pal look like?" He replied..."Oh, you'll see when I get it." We laughed so hard at that one! After much research & discussion - I think he means Power Ranger (let's hope!)


Here's Patrick with Santa... it was magical for him.

Nate was a bit hesitant at first - but when he realized Santa likes chocolate (just like Nate) - he warmed up fast! Later - Santa fixed Nate's balloon and he was really impressed. This Santa could do it all!

They even got to meet a reindeer! This is "Misfit" - the antlers were amazing, as was his super soft fur!

Here are the boys at breakfast... I think Santa had just walked in the room and Nate was looking at him, very excited!

This is Patrick with his cousins - Evan & Ryan. They are so silly!

And, here's all the grandkids with "Memom." Just before this picture, Nate had crawled under/into the tree! It shook and the lights flickered... it took some cajoling (and Brian lying down flat on the ground) to get Nate out! Of course - leave it Nate.

Thank you Memom for a wonderful time!
