25 Days of Christmas: Day 1

Day 1: Breakfast with Santa

 

Our morning started off with a check of the Organ Family Advent Calendar...

Everyone was obviously excited about today's event!

Time to see Santa!!!

This is McKinley before she sees Santa...all smiles!

This is McKinley after she saw Santa:(

She is still a little traumatized in the family picture.

Taking some time to play with stickers! At 19 months this is one of McKinley's favorite things to do.

 

 

Next it was craft time. This year the kiddos made foam penguin ornaments.

Breakfast with Santa

Christmas time is finally here! Now that we have a child, the holiday season is extra special and a little more exciting. One of the things Mike & I looked forward to the most this Christmas was taking McKinley to see Santa.

We knew the best (and least stressful) place for M to meet Santa was our church's "Breakfast with Santa". Trying to time our visit with Santa between feedings and naps was a little tricky, but thankfully it all worked out.

Waiting to see Santa:

McKinley did great with Santa...no tears!

After our visit with Santa we headed to get a few pictures of the family and of McKinley in her cute Santa outfit.

Since it was now nap time, we did end up having the inevitable breakdown...this one was over wanting to eat her own shoes.

Thankfully we ended on a happy note!
