Santa. Santa. Santa.

This December we saw three Santas.  Jack was a little concerned about why they all looked different and which one was real.  We explained that the REAL Santa sends all these other Santas to do his preliminary work so he can rest up for his big night.  All the helper Santas then report back to the REAL one!

Our Rochester mall has an amazing Santa.  He looks so real and makes for great pictures!  Both boys have had their pictures taken with him every year!

For the third year, we went to "Breakfast with Santa" at the school I teach at.  Each December the Century student body raises money for Bear Creek Services and this has become a nice fundraiser for that cause.  There are little activities for the kids to do and they get to sit on Santa's lap...again!

We tried a new "tradition" this year and that was watching Santa arrive on top of the Old City Hall in downtown Rochester.  The Rochester Fire Department rescues him and then he and Mrs. Claus head down to the Galleria to greet little kids!  We just watched the fire department rescue him.  It was actually a lovely Saturday afternoon.  Good weather.
