Breakfast with Santa!

On Saturday, we went to Eckert's to have Breakfast with Santa!!!

This is a tradition we have been doing since Molly was little,

and it is my favorite Christmas activity!

I love being able to have this nice family memory, instead of just standing in line at the mall!

Our Family 2011

Molly was SO excited to see Santa!

She was bouncing off her seat (literally).

This was her advent calendar activity for that day and she brought the paper to give to Santa.

She was so proud.

She carried it around all morning till we gave it to him.

He was very gracious.

She is really turning into such a grown up little girl.

You can tell she is maturing.

I am so proud of her.

She is very proud of her list...

She worked hard on it!

She did a great job!

Daddy and his girls.

They love their Daddy so much!

Lainey slept through most of breakfast, 

but was very excited to wake up to biscuits and donuts!

I love this pic of Molly telling me a secret!

I hope she always tells me secrets!

When we got there a little boy comes running up yelling MOLLY! MOLLY!

It was a little boy from class (we were an hour away in Illinois!)

They were so excited to see each other!

It was adorable to listen to them talk to each other!

I thought it was really funny that we drive over to where Andy works,

and Molly is the one to know someone there!

Too funny!

Still eating....

This baby is very independent.  

She wants to do everything on her own.

I would tear pieces off for her, 

but she would reach out and tear her own pieces.

I guess mine weren't big enough!

We tried!

Not too bad!

This one is pretty good!

Here comes the really fun part!

Eckert's Santa Breakfast includes the picture, 

cookie decorating, wagon ride and face painting.

Of course, we decorated cookies!

Molly did a really great job!

Yummy!

Lainey got to decorate one too!

This is hard work!

Or not...

Molly is still working....

Lainey is still eating!

Do you think she liked it?

Gotta have sprinkles!

Big sis helping out!

The reward for all her hard work!

Yummy

Delicious!

We always have a great time at this event!!!

Just a few more days....
