Santa Claus is coming to town

Sunday morning was our company's children's Christmas party. In the past this event has been a breakfast with Santa that's taken place at a local hall - essentially, the very same sort of breakfast with Santa that they had at the Festival of Trees we attended yesterday. This year it was moved to our local movie theatre and the format changed. Rather than breakfast, some children's entertainers and a visit with Santa, they kept Santa on the agenda, eliminated breakfast in favour of some snack foods, and screened three different movies for our viewing pleasure.

Liam was all over Santa the minute we walked in the door, though he got a bit quieter when he actually got onto his lap. We visited with Santa, picked up our gift (a Wiggles electric guitar - gee great - something else that makes a ton of noise and sucks up batteries!), snacked on bananas and Timbits and then caught the last 20 minutes of Madagascar in one of the cinemas. I didn't think Liam would sit still, but he did; but that may only be because he was eating a banana and watching the other kids. I don't know how much of it had to do with the movie itself.

All in all it was a very successful Santa-seeing weekend - much better than 2005:
