Santa's Helpers

Man wasn't it just Halloween a few days ago? Now it's Christmas.
Anyways, Islington Nurseries was having a 6-11pm madness sale or something.
Anyways they were having a Santa and helpers and stuff so we went.
Good thing it was indoors, cause the weather was madness. It was pouring rain outside just when we arrived.
Charlene one our neighbours was an elf there. So everyone on the street had to go.

Well little boy have you been a good boy this year?
I think Kieran's face answers that question, eh?
Can you say 'bah, humbug'?

I think there was a photographer from a local newspaper too. Taking pictures of the store displays, people dressed up and all little kids.

He noticed that together that Yahvi and Kieran were really smiley and happy looking kids. But as the photographer went to take their picture. There was only 1 kid saying cheese. The other turned into the Grinch. I don't get it. He looks so good in photos when he smiles. He says cheese every time I take his picture, but if it's someone else. Forget it.

Check out this train set. It's huge. Mucho $$$ too.
Guess where we spent most of our time while at the nursery.

Good thing there was large plexiglass barrier between the kids and the train.


Whenever Santa came around, no matter how much candy he had. The kids (Aliya, Yahvi and Kid grinch) were looking at him like he was Godzilla (or Godjira in japanese). I guess old dudes with beards are scary to kids.

Even Sam couldn't bear to look at him, he was afraid too.

However they liked this Santa. He wasn't scary at all and Kieran wished for trains and Yahvi wished she didn't have to eat food to survive.

We didn't make it to the Toronto Santa Clause parade today, I know that Kieran wanted to see the floats. But we didn't get around to heading to Christie in time to see the floats. We'll go next year.

But this indoor one was a good option. There was hot chocolate, and cookies and popcorn.
And don't forget the christmas moose.
