This wonderful tradition was started by Cheryl, Nikki, and Norman 22 years ago. It then grew to Cheryl, Nikki, Norman, Alyson, Ashley & Garet. After that the entire family joined in and it grew from there. This year was hosted by Lance & Reba at their wonderful home on Camano Island! They outdid themselves with festive decorations, wonderful food, and tasty beverages. A good time was had by all!!!

This year, Santa hired the Applause Studio Performance Team to be his elves for this year's Santa breakfast series.
These fabulous elves were there to greet and seat the guests as they arrived for food and fun.
After everyone had yummy food in their tummies, the Elves entertained the guests with a snappy little Christmas number. (click the photo to see the video)
They must have made quite an impression on Santa because he appeared from the North pole at the coaxing of the Elves. (click the photo to see the video)
After Santa appeared, the Elves went around to each of the tables to escort the eagerly waiting kids (young and old) to where Santa sat waiting to hear their Christmas wishes.
Several moms asked to have their baby's photo taken with the Elves.
If that wasn't cool enough... The awesome "Recess Monkeys" took the stage (known as the Wiggles of Seattle). (click the photo to see the video)
The Elves got the party started on the dance floor... followed quickly by a bunch of very enthusiastic mini dancers! (click the photo to see the video)
As Santa was getting ready to fly out of sight, the Elves lavished the children with gifts to their delight. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!! (click the photo to see the video)
What a wonderful day and a lot of wonderful memory for all the kids (and the Elves too)! (click the photo to see the entire album)
