Santa Claus is coming to Amherst!

We attended a pancake breakfast with Santa at Jacob's school. It was perfect, not too crowded, free crafts, cookies and all you could eat pancakes! All-in-all a fun morning.

Jay and Theo.

Jacob eating ALL of his pancakes!

Some of the girls working at the craft table asked if they could put a Santa's hat on Theo. He looked cute, although you wouldn't know it from this picture.

Waiting for Santa on the steps. They were super excited!

Raphael asked Santa Claus for trucks and Jacob asked for boxes and workbooks.  They were so excited waiting in line!

All three of our little men. 

Santa Claus is coming to Williamsville

We went to the Village of Williamsville's annual tree lighting. It was picturesque. There was a bon fire, caroling, hot chocolate and cookies and of course Santa Claus! Jacob was excited to see Santa and Raphael went along with the fun too although he was very tired. It was memorable evening and made me think how people used to celebrate Christmas in olden times, surrounded by family and friends in small communities.

Jacob and Santa

Today we ventured to Niagara Hobby and Craft Mart to see Santa. Along with Santa they had some awesome miniature train sets and real reindeer!! Santa was sitting in an old train caboose along with his elf. All the kids were given a fun gift and their own picture. The hobby store was full of dollhouse furniture, toy trains, cars, puzzles, arts and crafts supplies and much more. They had hands on trains for the kids to play with along with collectibles that were for sale.

We were afraid Jacob might start crying or scream when he saw Santa (since he did this at the doctors the day before), but he went right on his lap and seemed very content. The picture below isn't the best, but we thought it was cute.

Merry Christmas!!

p.s. At Jacob's 12 month appointment he weighted 19 lbs 9 oz (9%) and was 28 3/4 inches tale (40%). He's tall and skinny.
