I love seeking out as many free activities as possible! This event was called Breakfast with Santa and was hosted by the Elmhurst Neighbors and Newcomers Club (ENNC). I'm glad I joined because I have met some very nice, friendly people. However, I still don't feel as though I quite fit in and I'm ok with that! So I don't end up attending many events. Often the people who show up are already friends and stick to their own groups. So it's awkward. I usually have a grand time hanging out with the kids though!
This event was a breakfast potluck. Instead of cooking we bought bananas. Did those superfruit fly off the table? Yes indeed they did! As the only fruit selection lost between the donuts, cakes, breads, and other sugary delights, our bananas were a welcome addition! Score one for Team Smith!
The band that played was fantastic. Their name escapes me at the moment, but they turned popular songs into kid friendly remixes and it was hilarious! George Michael's "Gotta Have Faith" became "Gotta Have Cake." Brilliant! I was definitely worried when hearing the first few opening chords of some songs, only to be surprised by their creativity. They also did the classic Wheels on the Bus and Happy if You Know It. Cassidy had a ball dancing around!
There were games and crafts as well as Santa and Mrs. Clause! Who doesn't love a good Santa with a real beard? Cassidy has been weird about Santa. She talks about him. She waves to him, She gets excited to see him. But up close and personal, she gets super quiet and avoids eye contact. I felt triumphant when she gave this Santa a high five!
