Breakfast with Santa

Saturday morning we got ready to go to Breakfast with Santa at Arkansas Children's Hospital. We heard that this is the only day that there are more healthy children than sick children on the campus. I took Addison's picture before we left with her tree. We talked about Santa and she said she would take one picture with Santa. We tried to be very upbeat about Santa...how nice he is...only takes 5 seconds for the picture...and on and on. Well, it didn't work. We got up there for our turn and the tears came on. The picture is pitiful!


One of the volunteers offered to take a family picture since Addison freaked out with Santa!



They had several activities for the children to do besides seeing Santa. They had a long craft table set up where Addison made a Santa face...




A place where you could call an elf at the North Pole...





Write a letter to Santa...




And put the finished letter in a mail box. Here is Addison's finished letter that she "wrote." We are working on her name- you can see it at the bottom! I dot it and she traces it. She is getting really good at this!


The firemen cooked a large breakfast that was pretty good. The whole event was neat, and we will definitely go back next year. 100% of the proceeds went to benefit ACH. It is amazing the amount of volunteers that were there!

Addison matches her tree and her room! She really reminds me of her daddy in the pic of her standing by the her tree, guess its the way she is laid back with her arms out. Love her boots!
