Ho, Ho, HO!!!!



We are so excited for Christmas this year! Sharing the joy with Brayden has been so much fun. This morning Brady and I took Brayden to what will be our family tradition every year....Breakfast with Santa!!!! We had a ball with all the activities Millennial Falls (a local reception center) put on for all the kiddos. They had face painting, elves that made any kind of balloon animal you wanted (Brayden I think got 3 or 4), a yummy breakfast, candy, and of course, one-on-one time with Santa. Santa even handed out a fun goodie bag filled with stickers, Christmas tree suckers, little toys, and fuzzy reindeer ears. This was by far the way to go, no more standing in crazy Mall lines to get 2 seconds with Santa and then paying $20 to get a picture of your child freaking out!! :) They did such a good job and Santa.... The real deal! Darling!


Brady and Brayden even got special treatment, right when Santa came into the room, he was Ho, Ho, Hoing and giving high-fives, all the kids were going crazy.... But then we heard Santa say..."Where is Brayden and Brady Beyer?" oh boy, Brayden was the first child to see Santa and help him with some fun presents, and Brady, he got to be Santa's Rudolph blinking nose and all!!! It was pretty funny, Brayden was just wide eyed the entire time and kept pointing at Santa, patting his chest (really saying come here Santa) Anyway~ It was a great morning, very well put together, we had a great Family time!!! and to top it all off.... It was snowing so hard, it was a beautiful backdrop!













































Pointing at Santa, so excited to sit on his lap.... But then....






Wiggily Brayden,

Laughing, and freakin' out....







Finally, Mom had to sit on Santa's lap....

Stac -
This looks like so much fun! I'm afraid we'll have to tag along with you guys next year.

It was so fun hanging out with you guys last night - Brayden is the sweetest little boy. Love him with the antlers!!

What a fun breakfast with Santa! I remember when we took Kylee to SLCC for the same type of thing. She was still a little small to really enjoy it. Brayden is the perfect age to really start enjoying all the festivities. What a great memory and tradition to have. Thanks for sharing.
