Breakfast with Santa

This past Saturday I drove my family across the water to meet Santa for breakfast in Newport News.  We sang Christmas carols across the bridge, through the tunnel and all the way down the interstate.  The girls were wearing their Christmas pants and Chance was dressed like the jolly old man himself.  We were super excited!

For breakfast we shared stacks of warm pancakes, then enjoyed a wreath craft, cookie decorating, a story read by Santa and a gift from Santa's sack!  Chance lasted through the wreath craft...he won't miss that morning nap! hahaha

He was so adorable that we had the artist (hired for the party) draw him (isn't he awesome?!) - 

Dreama really enjoyed the book Santa read...

We ended our day with family time at my aunts house (decorated with EIGHT Christmas trees!)  The spirit of the season is definitely alive in my home and family.  Slow down and embrace every moment.  Life is beautiful. Love is beautiful. Family is beautiful.
