My mom's group at church hostessed "Breakfast with Santa" on Saturday. It is open to all church members and we just ask that they give a monetary donation. The money is used to provide a wonderful Christmas for a church family. We raised over $1100 which was amazing!
Mimi and Pops were in town this weekend for Ansley's birthday party so they were able to attend the breakfast as well. They got to meet a lot of our good friends that we have met through our church.
It was great seeing all the kids so interested in Santa until it was their turn. I am sure you can guess how Ansley's visit with Santa went? It was not good at all! I couldn't get a picture of her even close to Santa because she was so upset and didn't want to go up to him. She saw one of her best friend's, Libby, cry when it was her turn so she didn't want to have any part of it. Maybe next year she will decide that he isn't a bad guy after all :)
Ansley & Libby were happy to see each other

Libby was not happy to be on Santa's lap
Ansley was already upset and was not going to go see Santa
Our friend Emily's son, Benjamin, was really checking Santa out...he had the most serious look on his face
Our other friend's daughter, Elizabeth, was hiding from Santa when it was her turn
but her big brother, Ethan, LOVED Santa and was telling him about his list
this is how Ansley wears her reindeer ears :)

Wow Jen, that is great that you guys raised that much money for your church family in need. I am sure they are elated and blessed to have such a wonderful church community. Hopefully their Christmas will be a little brighter due to your generosity.
I know you are bummed about Ansley not liking Santa but we pretty much had the same experience as you guys. He is just a scary person for little kids. If they only knew that he is a very good man and he brings lots of fun toys to good little kids :)
Glad to see that Ansley was able to get use out of Maddie's Christmas dress from last year. It looks really cute on her! :)
I was just going to ask about the dress. Are all of her jumper dresses with bows homemade? They are so adorable!
Wesley hated Santa last year. He was fine being in the room with him, but did NOT want to sit in his lap. Hopefully, he will like him this year! :)

Erin, most of all the dresses that you see Ansley wearing that have bows on them were made by Kelly. The one Ansley is wearing in the Santa pics was one that Kelly made for Madison last year.
