Christmas in July Santa!

Santa Dave did great with the kids and my daughter for her Christmas in July birthday party! He spent quality time with my daughter opening her presents with her. The other children got to talk to him and discuss Christmas of course! Santa Dave was a little late but overall we were very satisfied! Will use him again if the need comes.
