Breakfast with Santa

Checking out the water feature, usually the highlight when visiting the hotel. 

Kate modeling her cape, my Nana brought this from one of her many visits to Scotland when I was about Kate's age.  I love that she agreed to wear it today.

One is looking...


The kids loved this guy.


Sitting on the big man's lap.  Sam asked for Geotrax, Matthew whispered he wanted Bionicles, Transformers and a bag of fresh seaweed, and Kate asked for a "swimming cat".  Santa may have a tough time with that one, but surely he can track down that seaweed?  


This morning the kids and I met Santa for breakfast at the local hotel.  It was a really nice event; pancakes, waffles, bacon and oranges.  And Santa.  And white linen tablecloths which momentarily caused me to panic as I walked in with my sometimes unruly brood.  They did great, having Santa just a few feet away surely had something to do with this.

Great photos and thank for capturing such an important event! The kids look great - so pretty and handsome. Love Kate's cape - glad to see it on her. And I love the "one is looking..." and the other faces - par for the course! I love it!

Thank you for doing all you do - you are awesome!
4 days until I get on the bus to get that plane to Washington!!!
I love you,

Swimming cat! Love it! What does one do with fresh seaweed? He must have a good plan.

We have finally discovered sushi really is delicious and Matthew is hooked on the seaweed that the rolls are wrapped in. I think the only reason he was willing to give it a shot is because sea creatures eat it, he is currently into squid and octopus. I am trying to convince him squid is really good too. Deep fried or soaked in garlic butter of course.
