Breakfast with Santa

Yesterday we went as a family to Breakfast with Santa. This is our third year that we have gone to this event. It is put on by 3M at Tartan Park Clubhouse. The breakfast is normally the same each year, but it is awfully wonderful food.
I look forward each year to this new tradition we have started. It is such a relaxing morning to sit and have a breakfast together as a family without rushing. We got to breakfast and I instantly felt that calm come over me. It was fun to see Sophia recognize Santa right away.


We sat down and had our breakfast and saw our friends the Hickels. They have also done this the past three years with their family. I went to high school with Katie, Hal works with Katie's dad, and my dad used to work with Katie's husband. It is fun to catch up with them and watch their family grow.

After breakfast we patiently awaited Santa's arrival to our table. When he came Sophia was thrilled to see him. She again asked Santa for a stuffed animal. It seems to be the new thing for her. Despite the fact she has a bed full of them, she continues to ask for one.


Santa was wonderful with Sophia and even gave her a candy cane. Then it was off back home to enjoy the rest of a relaxing day.

Today we will finish up some last minute shopping and go out for dinner this evening to celebrate my dad's birthday which is on the 22nd. Only six more days.......
