Family Night at The Club

Last night we took our annual trip up to The Club for "Family Night".  This event is truly one of my favorite nights of the year because the kids can run wild, dance to the music, visit with Santa, and just laugh and have fun.  

We arrived at 5:00 and got in line to see Santa.  The Butlers were perfect angels in line for Santa and were very excited!

We asked Daniel what he wanted from Santa and he said "To make Jack feel better".  So sweet!  Jack heard him and went over and hugged him.  I mean, can I say my heart was melting.  The Butlers have been sick for 2 weeks and we were afraid Jack was getting sick again on Monday, but he pulled it together for the big night. 

Georgia Anne went first  and took up a very long time with Santa.  We tried to get her to tell us what she was talking about, but she never would.

The conversation went on and on....

Next Jack went up to him.  Here Santa asked him what he wanted him to bring and Jack replied "You can bring me whatever you want.  I will like anything"    (again, heart melting).

Daniel went right to business.  He got in his lap, talked a minute, and left.  

Then the moment of truth...BANKS' turn!

And guess what? NO TEARS!  

I am almost sure he told Santa that he wanted a firetruck and a train table, but who knows....

Next, the ever so daunting family portrait.....

Take 1....

Take 2....

and we are D.O.N.E.

Mama and Daddy wanted a picture with the grandchildren and I know of a little Sir who was not cooperating.

Next, into the ball room for dinner and dancing. 

Everyone took their seats and waited patiently for the food.

The kids had a great time running around and keeping us out of breath.  

Sorry no pictures.  It was actually the time when we got to eat our meal and just relax.

Do these 2 look alike or WHAT??!!

We always love going outside and enjoying the magnificent view of Birmingham.

And here we go again....trying another photo.  What were we thinking?

We had a GREAT time and the kids did too.   It's crazy to think that next year, we will have 2 little boys visiting Santa.
