Day 8 of the 12
Days of the Reeders' Christmas...
Breakfast with Santa was a highly anticipated event in our house this year! The kids talked about it for days before (and it might or might not have been used as a bargaining chip for good behavior...) When the morning finally arrived, they couldn't wait to see him. We all sang Jingle Bells as he entered the room (at which point my 2-year-old niece did her absolutely hysterical Will Ferrell impression from Elf with her cry of "Saaaantaaaaa!") Though he seemed pumped about seeing Santa all morning, Joe's nerves kicked in as it got closer and closer to our turn. Thankfully, watching his sister climb right up onto the Big Guy's lap without any hesitation gave Joe the confidence to do the same. Baby Jack was a little confused at first, staring at (a pretty terrible version of) Santa in bewilderment. He was ok when his big sibs were with him, but eventually started to cry when he went solo (making the Reeder family 5 for 5 on tearful Santa visits.) Santa gave each child a small present - games for Brooke & Joe and new sippy cups for Jack. It was a super fun morning!
Disclaimer: I'm not very happy with my pictures from this event. We've since been to visit another (much better looking) Santa and I got the classic pics I wanted (those will be posted soon!)
