A Day in with Santa

Stanford Mall has a breakfast with Santa every year.  It’s a fun morning with songs, dancing, skits by elves, breakfast and crafts!  It’s fantastic because it costs $5 and it starts at 8:30am.  And when your kids are up by 6am you’re ready to go and looking for something to do early and this fits the bill.

here he is!

SANTA!!!!
We were lucky to have Joe with us!

Once the singing and dancing is done, the boys really just love running around. Literally, running around.

Owen made a Rudolph mask that provided hours of entertainment!



We spent a minimum of two hours sprinting around the mall.  We didn’t really shop, we didn’t really eat, we simply enjoyed the beautiful morning!

We posed.


We played.


We climbed.


Once the line went down, we went back and saw Santa again.

Here he was telling Owen to eat his vegetables!

Then we played hide and seek.

This is Nathan’s “I found him!” face!

Gotta love holiday brotherly love!!!
