Breakfast with Santa

This morning Katelynn and I got up early (well, she did anyway, which meant that I did as well) and got ready and headed to Loveland. We went to meet my girlfriend Brooke and her family to have breakfast with Santa at the Loveland High School. I was really impressed with the school and how well they put on this charity for their high school band. We didn't have to wait at all and were told to sit at any table and the kids would come and take our drink orders and then serve us our food. (Pretty good that we didn't have to do buffet style). The kids were served Rudolph pancakes (very cute) and the adults had sausage and pancakes as well. The kids did a really good job to keep checking back and seeing if we needed refills on drinks and such. They also had Santa Claus there and the line was never really long, I think Katelynn waited maybe 5 minutes for her turn and they took pictures with Santa that you could buy as well. This was the first year that I have taken Katelynn to see Santa and sit on his lap and tell him what she wants. She was really excited and not scared of him at all, maybe a little on the shy side, but not scared to tell him that she wants a Princess Kitchen. She has been saying that this is what she wants from Santa for a little over a week now. Dan has heard this plenty of times and I hope that he at least considers it since this will be the first year that she really understands that he is coming and when she wakes up Christmas morning he should have left her a present and filled her stocking up. I have bought all of her other presents so this is really all we have left, although Dan is saying that we don't have the room for it, but we will see.
After breakfast we went to Brooke's and Katelynn played for about an hour and then we left to go get some more Christmas shopping done. I really wish that I wasn't pregnant and had a ton of money too spend - there are some seriously good deals out there to be had.
Dan and Katelynn also played in the snow today in the backyard and made a pretty good looking snow man with a hat and scarf and arms and face and the everything else. Katelynn was funny tonight and was asking what will happen if he melts?
Tomorrow is grocery shopping, Vikings game and I am hoping to start baking some Christmas cookies. I also need to get my Chex Mix done, that is usually my favorite for the holiday to sit and much on. (I better make two batches - one for the pregnant lady and one for others).
