As I did when I was little, Jack met Santa the other day! Not only that but he met him TWICE! We were lucky enough to be taken out for breakfast by Steve’s parents at our local Hungry Horse restaurant – they were doing an offer of breakfast at £5 a head and children got to meet Santa. Later on that day we also had the annual sleigh come round our area with Santa on, waving at all the children! It was so magical!

Jack really enjoyed his breakfast – he had sausage, baked beans and toast. I had a breakfast burrito – it was so good, I am still thinking about it two days later! After we were all fed and watered, it was time for Jack to meet Santa Claus..
Sadly, Jack was a little scared at first; obviously this is a fairly new experience for him and he didn’t trust Santa one bit – he grabbed his presents and ran! He then decided to stand at the door to the grotto, waving and smiling at Santa – it seems he only liked him at a distance. There was no way he was sitting on Santa’s lap, however! We tried one last ditch attempt at getting a nice picture, this time with me…

EPIC FAIL.
After all this, Jack was very excitable so we put him down for a nap when we got home! At 4pm, we heard the sounds that meant the sleigh was coming and made our way outside…
Jack loved watching the sleigh from a distance! My camera decided to mess about whilst we were outside and all my pictures of the sleigh seem to have been swallowed up, although Steve managed to save some of the pictures of Jack that I took!
There is something so magical about Christmas with children – the sheer innocence and glee makes all the stress in the run up more than worthwhile.
Aw how lovely i remember my eldest wasn't to sure of him either but was okay if i was nearest to him, although its my youngest first time of knowing what's going on as she is one so we will see how it goes on the weekend she seems to like his pictures so we will see lol xx
Ah, it's a shame he was scared but that's a natural reaction.
he could not be any cuter!
