Santa on the Plaza
Dawn and I had the pleasure of helping Santa and Mrs. Claus meet the children and families of the City of Elkhart.
Us with SantaWe got to see Santa today!
It was a cold and very windy day, and Santa's sleigh was delayed by the high winds but when he finally arrived with the help of Rudolf all the kids were happy and cheering for him and Mrs. Claus. With the help of the wonderful little elves at Hopman Jewelers they brought with them all the making for S'mores, which the children (and some adults too) just loved!
