Santa Clause came to town

It's officially Christmas time in Orlando. Every year Santa makes a grand entrance at the Millenia Mall the weekend before Thanksgiving to kick off the holiday season. He arrives on the roof of the mall as you can see in the picture. Then makes his way down into the crowds. It's a lot of fun for the kids with music, dancing, cookies and cocoa, snow, and of course Santa. He always brings Mrs. Clause along as well as some elves, reindeer and other interesting characters. Brooks is still terrified of anyone in costume, so he attached himself to my hip, but Elle had a great time mingling with her North Pole friends. This year my friend Laurie and I took all the kids, so the other children that you may not know in the pictures are Elle's good buddy Riley, and Brooks' girlfriends Reese and Reagan.
