Breakfast with Santa

This morning we headed to the Fort Worth Club for their annual Pancakes with Santa so John Marshall could have his first picture made with Santa! I was so excited for this moment - as soon as I saw this event on the calendar, I immediately made reservations. The FW Club has the process/party down to a science - and it was great! We had a professional picture taken with Santa and JM - that turned out great - they give you two bigger complimentary copies (not the polaroid version that I have from my baby book pics with Santa) and of course you can order more online. Of course. They had cute crafts for older kids, a petting zoo, balloon reindeer antlers, music, decorations, an amazing breakfast buffet, and of course, mimosas for the Moms and Dads. :) We had a nice time visiting with our friends and their precious son Charlie...until both of the boys started having meltdowns due to it being their nap time. We can't wait to make this a tradition for years to come!

My little cutie pie. Who would NOT smile for anything.
I only forgive him because it was his nap time.

I love JM's expression in the next few pics...they are posted in the order they were taken. Poor guy. We just hand him over to some old, weird man in a velvet suit like it's no problem.

"Who in the world are you?"
"Dad? Help me?"
"Who are you again?"
The "money" shot. (On the Professional's camera).

After having JM's picture taken with Santa we headed over to the lady (dressed as an elf, with ears and all) making balloon animals. She made Charlie (JM's friend - older by 3 months) balloon reindeer antlers. That's what I wanted for JM, but NO, according to her (even though JM's noggin is bigger than Charlie's) she needed to make him a duck. A duck. What is Christmas about a duck? And he couldn't even wear it. Can you tell this annoyed me greatly? So we nixed the duck and the elf lady and headed over to the petting zoo. JM got to see baby goats, baby pigs, chickens, and 8 week old bunnies.

He has his, "I don't want to do this but my Dad has control of my hand," face on!
Ew. Who has these in a petting zoo?
Playing at the table while we ate.
And he's out! :)
