Santa Cow & Elfie Cow

Those of you up north don't have Chick-fil-A.  Sorry.  mmm... chick'n minis.  The one around us does a lot of family things. They have different game nights each week, do school fundraising meal nights, have special things for holidays and seasonal stuff in the restaurant and, of course, have their dressed up Big Cow and Baby Cow around town at various events a lot handing out free coupons.  They are visible (and huggable) at things at the Children's Museum, at the county fair, at the mall, etc. 

Each December, they do a Christmas breakfast craft and have the Santa Cow and Elfie show up.  Well, now the twins are in school and we can't do that this year.  But, for Saturdays in December, the calendar said Santa Cow was going to be there for an hour and a half at lunchtime.  Baby Elfie Cow was an added bonus for us today.  We have a series of pictures with the Holiday Cows...  how could we skip this year?  Gretchen was disappointed when she realized there was no ornament to make today. 

Here they are last year...

and here they are in 2009.  They were going to pre-school on opposite days, so they are not in the same picture.
