Snyder Primary School was a great place to be Saturday morning.
Kids who showed up at the school’s cafetorium between 7:30 and 11 a.m. not only got to feast on pancakes, but also got a little face time with Santa and Mrs. Claus and Princesses Elsa and Anna and their friend Olaf the snowman from the Disney movie Frozen.
The event was Pancakes With Santa, which was organized as a fundraiser for the Snyder Community Resource Center.
The Christmas VIPs and movie royalty were on hand to greet kids, wish them Merry Christmas, and pose for photos.
Jackson Hernandez was a bit unsure about meeting Santa at first, but then went in for a hug.
“He loves getting his picture taken,” said Hernandez’s mom.
Six-year-old Sidney Gutierrez spent time coloring Christmas pictures — one of the activities for children at the event — before chowing down on pancakes.
Sa’bella Davidson, Layla Rodriguez, Brantley Davidson and Gauge Garcia spent time posing on the stage for the perfect portrait with Santa and Mrs. Claus.
In addition to eating pancakes, drinking cocoa and having their photos taken with the characters in attendance, kids wrote letters to Santa, decorated Christmas tree ornaments, made Christmas tree cones and colored plates, perfect for leaving Santa some Christmas Eve cookies.
The Snyder Community Resource Center is a non-profit organization of agencies that provide emergency assistance to families, children and individuals.
