PJs with Santa

Friday night The Helfers attended an event called PJs with Santa.  And oh, were we excited!

We joined kids of all ages for milk and cookies, crafts, story time, movies on the big screen, holiday shopping and a loooonnnnngggg line to sit on Santa’s lap!  In other words, The Helfers enjoyed PJs without Santa, but enjoyed PJs with lots of other things.

 

First stop was The Little Gym.  As soon as James squirmed from my hand, he didn’t look back.

Callie and Chloe “Cacky” and “Chlocky” played too.  Only Chloe is still young enough to make sure Mommy is right with her!

We did arts and crafts.

While having cookies and milk.

We walked through the holiday market… with a remote control shark “ish” swimming through the air.

James eventually grabbed hold of “ish” and was kindly asked to let him go.

I looked everywhere for Albert the Alligator, but he lives in Gainesville, Florida.  However, Cocky the Gamecock was there.  I completely thought James would run and cry.  Instead he was happy as can be to see Cocky!

We were having such a great time, but the line for Santa wasn’t getting any shorter.  The cookies and milk only got us so far.  Even through story time, we were starting to fade.

The kids were beginning to meltdown.  The smiles were turning to dazes.  You would think the clock struck midnight.

I believe it was 7:00.

So we said goodbye to Santa.  See ya at the mall, or Christmas Eve or somewhere.  But we will find you before Christmas.  We promise.

In good spirits or not, to sit on you lap.
