Breakfast with Santa

Yesterday morning we went to B's work and had Breakfast with Santa!

He always arrives in a firetruck and we always get there right as he comes. 

 This year we even got to wait for the elevator with him.

  Kate got her face painted:

 James got a "doggie"

 and Jane decorated a cookie:

 It was a really great breakfast! 

In the afternoon I drove to Erie with 2 beautiful friends to visit another beautiful friend.  We went to lunch and then spent a few hours in "Charming Charlies."  LOTS of cute things were found by all.  It was a very very fun day! 

Last Friday was Jane's last day of SAFETY PATROL.  Every morning before school she would take her place in the hallway and tell people to not run & be safe.  Then she did it again after school was over.  She started soon after school began and did it for 3 months. Great work Jane!

 * BONUS: We built a wood block tower as tall as James... so proud :)
