Lexi with Santa @ The Shrine

Posted in

Saturday was the day and the Kalif Shrine was the place to be if you ever were or are still a kid at heart. Balloons, food, toys, Rudolph, Mrs. Claus and of course Santa were inside the Shrine Auditorium to meet, greet and treat you. Santa had a lot of help from the many Shriner helpers on hand. Lexi in the photo knows first hand as she sits on Santa's (aka Mo Schwartz) knee and tells him what she wants for Christmas.

Rudolph was sitting at the door to greet you
It may look crowded but it's not. The line for Santa works it way around from the left till you're greeted by Mrs. Claus
Besides Santa inside are toys, balloons, eats and comradeship
6-month old Andrew probably doesn't even know he is about to be handed off to Santa for the very first time in his young life.
After the hand-off to Santa 6-month old Andrew is still unaware of all that is taking place around him
I think 5-year old Landree will remember her visit with Santa
The view from the food area with the Christmas Tree and Santa just beyond
In case you didn't notice kids come in all sizes
My favorite expression of the day is on this young one
Kaleb and Dyln enjoying their toys and balloons - In the case of Dyln at the expense of being able to see his whole face
Truth be known - he didn't blow up the balloons by mouth - he had a hand pump and a helper
Business first as Lexi visits with Santa before posing for the camera for the lead in photo
