Seeing Santa

Hello again, all!  We got to see Santa Claus a few times this year  Elizabeth wasn't much of a fan, as you will see in the pictures, but the kids are at such fun Santa ages this year! 

 The girls' school does a Santa brunch every year, and it's always fun.  We get to have breakfast and do crafts and see our friends from school.  Daddy got to go this year for the first time ever, so that was an extra treat!  Although it doesn't look like I took any pictures of him.  Christa and Abby Kate were all ready to tell Santa what they wanted.  Christa asked for a Cinderella bike, and Abby Kate asked several times for a Spiderman costume.

 This was the only way to include Elizabeth in the picture, so there you go.

 We went to a second Santa brunch that Daddy loves the next day.  I really liked their outfits, so I attempted to get a great picture of the 3 of them.  Elizabeth was very wiggly and uncooperative, so I'm thrilled that we got this one.  Abby Kate had a scraped nose - she had fallen at a church social the week before, so she got to be Rudolph for a few days.

 Elizabeth still hasn't warmed up to the jolly guy..... or his wife, apparently.

 A nice family shot is always good to have.... especially when the baby refuses to pose.

 The cousins got to go, too.  There are 7 kids total this year, so it was super fun to get a picture with everyone looking at the camera.  Thanks again for helping us out with that, Elizabeth :)

The whole gang!

 Christa's class took a field trip to sing Christmas carols at a local nursing home, and then to the mall to see Santa.  I had to miss out on the first part because of a MOPS meeting, but Daddy took her, and it was a special time for them.  I heard it was a very heartwarming for everyone, and the kids were such a blessing to the people at Horizon Bay.

 Merry Christmas!
