Unfortunately we missed making reservations for Breakfast with Santa where we have gone the past couple of years so we had to change it up this year. It definitely wasn't as nice and cozy, but I suppose it worked!
Paige got very nervous as soon as we walked in and she saw Santa. She kept shaking her head and saying no. Luke of course hopped right up on his lap!
He told Santa he wanted some racetrack that neither Wally or I had a clue about. We both looked at each other and sort of panicked.
When we got home and figured out what he was talking about we discovered thatwhat he wanted was over $100 and for 8 year old and up. He apparently saw it on a commercial. He was a little upset and asked why the commercial didn't tell you how old you have to be....ha!
Anyways... We were seated right in front of Santa. You can tell that Paige was not too thrilled!
Paige was checking out the other kids getting their pictures taken!
I finally told Wally let's just do it. Let's just get the picture of Paige. I tried setting her on his lap, but she REFUSED! So I told her I would just hold her and she was sort of ok with that! Then as I was walking away, I just set her on his lap and wouldn't you know - she smiled! It was a Christmas miracle!
Paige even told Santa what she wanted for Christmas - gymnastics Dora. However, she then stood in front of Santa waiting for her Dora. She didn't quite get that she wasn't getting it in that moment and that made her angry - ha!
There was some face painting and coloring going on there too!
We took some pictures before we left and headed home in the snowstorm that had started!
When we got home, it was cookie baking time!
