This year we tried to avoid the mall Santa as he can be dirty and smelly and overused. We decided to go to one of the community centres for pancakes with Santa. Here we had breakfast with Santa and got to sit on his lap for photos and to give him our wish list. Ryan was very talkative with Santa and gave him specific instructions on what he wanted for Christmas.

Afterwards, there was a party at the gym. Madeline was intrigued by Santa but preferred to pose in front of the polar bear.
