Breakfast with Santa and Swimming

The girls all dressed to go eat breakfast with Santa.

Katelyn does this all the time. She is saying "wait - one more time". I love her little hands.

Mommy and her girls at the breakfast.

Ali has arrived! Jordan and Ali are greeting each other. They both were so excited. We went to this same breakfast last year with Ali and it was fun. We had to do it again this year.

Santa has arrived!

I love this picture of Katelyn and Santa smiling at each other. Of course, Jordan looks so cute as well.

The sisters with Santa!

I love this picture as well with Jordan and Santa smiling at each other. She was telling him what she wants for Christmas - the Julie doll. Katelyn looks so happy and cute.

The family with Santa.

Jordan was so excited to see and speak with Santa. I love her hugging him. He was great.

There was an elf that came around to the tables making balloon figures. All the girls got reindeer balloons. Katelyn was THRILLED with hers. It basically occupied her the rest of breakfast. She loved it.

The girls with Santa for the more formal Santa picture.

All three girls with Santa. They had a wonderful time.

After we left, CHH gave both girls money to put in the Salvation Army bucket. He said he always did so as a kid and wanted the girls to do the same. Jordan asked so many questions about it afterwards. She is so inquisitive now. I'm at a lost sometimes on answering some of her questions!

After breakfast with Santa, Jordan and I ran errands. I got her all signed up for gymnastics in the Spring and also for swimming lessons. We went to a new swimming school because a friend takes her daughter there and was telling me about it. They test the kids at this school to know what level they are at. After I went on and on about how well Jordan does (jumps in the pool, puts her face under water, etc.), I made sure I told them (several times) that she cannot swim though. Well... they go to test her and the little stinker SWIMS!! Not once but four times all the while the instuctor is counting to ten! When did she learn that?! Anyhow I'm proud to say they put her in an advanced beginner class on Saturdays. I was so proud of her!
