Breakfast with Santa (Part 1)

Saturday was Breakfast with Santa. Ava was very excited about it and wore her new Christmas dress that Mimi got her. The breakfast was at a church down the street. It started with a few tables where the children could to holiday craft projects. Ava made a Santa hat and also used some stickers to make a gingerbread house.

We went into the breakfast room and were served a pancake breakfast. This is the second such pancake breakfast that Ava has been to. The other was at St. Lucy back in November when Papa visited. Ava just loves pancake breakfast. She had three pancakes, two sausages, and some eggs. She would have had more if we had let her.

Santa came in and read a story to all of the children. Ava listened pretty intently to the story as you can tell from the expression on her face. The story told about the birth of Christ and Ava actually knows most of this from school. She knows about Bethlehem, Mary and Joseph, the manger, and the wisemen.
