Breakfast with Santa

Last Saturday I took the girls to Breakfast with Santa. I've always wanted to go, but never got tickets in time. This year I finally got my act together and got them! They were so excited! 
As soon as we walked in, pictures were the first thing. So we jumped in line! 
I captured this wonderful Santa smile after he asked Brenna what her shirt said (which was "Dear Santa, did you get my text?") He thought it was pretty funny! 
She was first to get her picture made. 
When did she grow up?? Oh my goodness. It's killing me! 
Macie was up next! And my normally shy- wants nothing to do with anyone but mommy- child.... Jumped right up in his lap! 
Sweet girl! 
Then they took one together. 
Be still my heart! 
Next we got some breakfast! Pancakes and bacon! My favorite. 
Macie didn't think hers had enough syrup on it so she didn't eat much. Plus- it's hard to eat when there are so many other fun things to do! 
Next we went over to make a candy cane reindeer with Mrs. Billye! They turned out so cute! 
They also had a station to make a foam ornament. 
Then we went to Story time with Mrs. Claus. 
Next up- a hayride! 
My sweet side kick insisted on sitting on my lap. Some days I have to remind myself that there will come a day when she wont want to be connected to me non stop..... And I'm sure I will be sad on that day. But.....
After that, the girls got balloon animals made by elves and got their faces painted! 
It was such a fun event! And a fun time to share with my girls! 
As we were finishing up, Macie decided she was still hungry, and Nina was wanting to see them (especially since there was a misunderstanding and she thought she was supposed to go with us and I didn't know it.... Ugh. I hate it when I mess up like that!) so we met up with Nina and went to breakfast at Cracker Barrell! (And Aunt Kim and Kyson joined us too!) 
This picture just melts me!!! 
I absolutely love that they get to spend so much time with their Nina. I spent a LOT of time with her when I was their age, and I love watching the relationship they have with her now! FAMILY and TIME..... 2 things that you can't buy. And 2 things that should never be taken for granted.
