Church Christmas Party

Today we had our annual church Christmas party. This is something we all look forward to because Santa is there, there are tons of games to play with tons of prizes, alot of crafts to do, and a tableful of yummy holiday treats.

This year no one cried when they had to sit on or stand next to Santa!!! And best of all Kyle and I didn't have to be in the picture with them! This was our second visit with Santa, they went to visit him at the Bass Pro Shop a few weeks ago and we had the same success. Isabella looked a little frightened during that visit but was brave for her brother and sister. As we walked away she said to me, "Mom, Santa is missing his finger!" Turns out this is why she was so freaked out. Wondering if this was true I walked back around and sure enough poor guy was missing his index finger and he wasn't wearing gloves so all could see. Problem is I was worried that we would always have to drive around town to find a Santa with a missing index finger. Kyle told her that he must have lost it when showing the elves how to make toys and that Santa was so magical it was probably going to grow back (I love this guy!). Well it worked because today it wasn't even an issue and she didn't even ask why he still had all of his fingers.
Her special request from the balloon man: a heart bracelet
His special request from the balloon man: a sword with a holster to keep it in!
Love the face painting!
Margaret loved her tree.
Can you guess who this little guy wanted to be...
cutest Rudolph I ever did see!
I love that this gal still loves her pigtails!
