One tradition that I always had growing up was going to Breakfast with Santa at Crestwood Mall with my parents and godparents. I think it was at the tea room in Dillards...or maybe Famous Barr?! Last year my mom made reservations at the Macy's downtown, but this year we thought we might try something different. We went to the one at Eckert's and Nathan had so much fun! We had an all-you-can-eat country breakfast (reminded us of breakfasts that my grandma used to make in Oklahoma!) and Nathan got to decorate sugar cookies, sit on (another) Santa's lap x's 2, get his hand painted, play games, and more. Will enjoyed the festivities until naptime hit and he was O-U-T! I'm sure he'll appreciate it more next year!

| I wonder at what point we will get a family picture with everyone looking?! ha! |

| Will was so funny each time he met Santa. He would just stare at his beard and sometimes try to grab it. This picture just makes me laugh because you can tell there is SO MUCH going on! |

After receiving a "big buldozer" from Santa's helper at Scott AFB, Nathan thought it would be a good idea to ask this Santa's helper for a combine! I swear this kid is going to be a farmer/electronics repair man/lawn service provider when he grows up. He makes me laugh!

| Decorating his sugar cookie. He conveniently missed the cookie with the sprinkles several times and as you can imagine he was quick to pick them up and eat them! |
 |
| Still asking for a combine! |
