A Visit with Santa and Christmas Carols

We got to see Santa last weekend. Jack was pretty excited, but he accidentally left his "Christmas Wish Book" at home, so I'm not sure he remembered his whole list for Santa. Luckily, we have a house elf named "Mr. Funny" who is happy to watch over the kids and report back to Santa each night.

We knew that Emily wasn't going to sit in Santa's lap. That wasn't even worth trying this year! However, he did have a basket of candy canes nearby, and she was fine with going near him to get to the candy!

Emily was proud of herself for getting that candy cane!

We also have had a couple of Christmas Concerts this year. Here is a picture of Jack's class. He is in the back row, second from the right...singing his heart out!


And all of the 4-year-olds in the grand finale!


We are all ready for Santa now. Jack told me tonight that he can't wait a whole week - that's way too long! Not only are we counting down to Santa, but it is also a countdown to Frannie, Pops, and Aunt Sassy coming to visit for Christmas. We can't wait!
