'Tis the Season...

...for Santa sightings! We saw the big guy for the first time this year at St. Ignatius, for the annual meet and greet that's arranged especially for SI kids and grandkids.



Our kids liked him from a distance, and Joey especially appreciated Santa's jokes, which were flying right over the heads of most of the other kids. He really digs SI/ Sacred Heart humor.


Clara found a spot nestled between Stecher girls, and waited very patiently for her name to be called. The wait was worth it!





Taking pictures with the guy in the suit did not go over well... here's our miserable attempt at a family photo.



They did slightly better for the Cecchin family photo.





It was all smiles for Clara Jane once Santa vacated his "throne," and let the little people climb up!


Thanks to Grandpa Cecchin and all of his helpers at SI for organizing such a fun annual event!

Oops, sorry Jeff! Didn't realize that Shawna cut you off!

Wow, even Tara gets to be in the family photos.

Tara takes up less of the frame.

Shawna dropped the ball, Sara was right in the current Cecchin Brother money spot for pictures.
