Christmas at the Anvil Club

One of our family traditions is to have brunch with Santa at my parent's supper club. This was going to be Finn's first time actually having to interact with the big man, so I was a little nervous....and I should have been :)

{i have no idea what Finn is doing here, but it cracks me up. He is constantly pointing out and screaming about things. He's a rather loud child, when he gives up his shy act}

{My handsome little men!}

{eddie's favorite part of the brunch...cotton candy! our waitress complimented Eddie on his terrific eating habits...she said most parents gave in and let the kids go for the sweets table right away. Eddie will always chose real food first!}

{my sweet boy. Eddie went right up to Santa and told him what he wanted, in a shy quiet voice that Santa couldn't quite understand. After some repeating, Santa got it and Eddie beamed. Look at his little hands! adorable.}

{Oh, Finn. Frank was holding him while Eddie talked to Santa, and when it was time to get a picture all together, I think Finn practically clawed his way up Frank's back to get away. Don't worry, we didn't torture him for long...Frank grabbed him right away!}

{I think this was the boys' favorite part...singing christmas carols and ringing bells with the piano player! They rocked out}

{hehe...mean Momma motioned for Santa to come over...Finn didn't even notice :)}

{see?! told you! still happy as can be}

{since we were all fancy we took a quick family picture. This one is zoomed in like crazy...apparently my dad loves his giant tree so much he thought that he should get the whole thing in the picture! Ugh. Silly Grandpa.}

This was my last day with my yucky, broken lens. Hoooray!!! Frankie got me a new 50mm lens for Christmas, thank goodness. My old lens would just fall right off at random points, had trouble focusing and was otherwise well past it's prime. Poor lens :( But goodness, I do love my new one.
