We had an extended family party at my parent's church like we do every year. It was fun-most of the uncles and aunts couldn't come so it was basically a huge reunion with all of my cousins and their families. It was fun catching up with them. Santa always comes to visit at this party. You can tell the the pictures below how he was received by our girls this year.
Two funny side-notes about Preslie. Since this is where she always sees Santa she thinks he lives at this church and goes to church there too, makes sense right? Every time we drive by it she screams, "There's Santa's church, he lives there." She's been doing this all year since last Christmas and it makes me laugh every time. Also-she was so excited when she heard Santa's jingle bells ringing down the hall she started laughing hysterically and couldn't stop. This continued on for several minutes. She has the greatest laugh, so I couldn't stop laughing either.
Abigale drew a picture for the Reflection's contest at school The theme was "Diversity is..." Abigale chose to write about all the different people in the world and how everyone is special in their own way. She then drew a picture of a world with lots of different looking people around it. She did a good job and she got a trophy and a ribbon for participating. They liked her artwork enough that it moved on to the next level and we have an upcoming awards ceremony for that. We are proud of her, way to go little artist!
