Supper with Santa 2012

December 3, 2012

A few weeks ago, we had our 2nd meeting with Santa at the Earlyworks Museum. We have had supper with Santa two years in a row now, I guess it is becoming a tradition with our family! Each year they hold a fundraiser called Dinner with Santa. They always sell out very quickly, so we were excited that we were able to get tickets again this year! They have lots of round tables decorated for Christmas and have crafts waiting on the kids at the tables when they arrive. They serve pizza, fruit, and salad and have elves helping out around the room. Santa comes around and visits each table throughout the dinner. It moves pretty quickly though...or at least it did for us because both Caleb and Kailyn were not excited to see him.

Caleb was so excited to attend this event, but as soon as Santa walked up to the table, Kailyn started screaming- not crying, but screaming!! I think Caleb fed off of that and just locked down. He did not want Santa anywhere near him. So Santa snuck behind him and tried to let me get a picture, but Caleb spotted him too quickly. Oh well! Of course, since Kailyn was already so upset, we went ahead and threw her in his lap for a few pictures. It was a fun night, even if we had a few tears along the way. We did get some cute pictures while we were there, they have lots of little photo opportunities set up all around the room. Our tickets included passes to Santa's Village across the street (with the same Santa), but we decided to wait and come back another night, so stayed tuned!
