The following day was grandma's Christmas party. Always so much fun. This year we made reindeer cupcakes, decorated sweat pants with fabric markers and paint, recited the story of Christ's birth, and had a surprise visit from Santa. The funny of the night was Benjamin. Santa calls each child up one at a time to get a present he brought them. Ben was so excited for each new name to be called until the name wasn't his. Then he would furrow his brow and pout until the next present was taken out of the bag. Finally his Uncle Michael told him to cross his fingers and......voila! Finally Ben's name was called. Oh the faith of a child! We had a great time and look forward to heading back to grandma's house for Christmas.
Rudolph the red nose reindeer???? Okay, so that is just the song we were singing.
Jingle Bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...
Reindeer cupcakes, YUMMY!
Nate didn't have to wait long for his present.
Ben was not a happy camper as he waited for his turn...
The Santa that visited their school brought them these hats. She looks cute in just about anything.
Here is Samantha whispering what she wants Santa to bring her for Christmas. She laughed as she told me she asks for something different everytime!
Ben is crossing his fingers or at least trying to.....
Finally it was Ben's turn! He didn't hold any hard feelings towards Santa over the long wait.
I'm not sure what she asked him for whatever it was I hope she is more satisfied this year than last year...
Even Addison got to sit on Santa's lap. No screaming...impressive. Thanks Grandma for an excellent party as always!
