We are definitely enjoying this holiday season! The girls are super excited about Santa. Caroline will say Santa Claus very distinctly every time she sees him and Abby will recite her wish list for anyone who asks to hear it. She wants a plush Daisy and Goofy and a big jeep so Caroline can ride with her. She also wants her own shmop. Brent and I have both enjoyed watching the girls fall in love with the magic of Santa. They have brought back some of our fondest memories as kids. In the pic below, Abby is mailing our letter to Santa.
This past Wednesday, we went to the Children's Christmas festival at church. We hit the train ride first before the line got long.
Choo-choo!
Caroline is looking at a statue of Jesus in the middle of our church's new fountain. She was pointing and saying "Jesus" in her sweet little voice.
The church had a snow hill you could tube down. We didn't attempt this.
Abby did have some bounce house fun.
A stroll with Daddy
The girls ate Babe's chicken.
Abby is a little negotiator. I am sure she is working a deal with Nonnie about something in this pic.
Abby played some of the games.
Caroline liked playing in the prize baskets.
Caroline is always interested in animal exhibits. We didn't make it inside the petting zoo, as many of the animals were leaving to take part in the live nativity.
Abby and Caroline didn't miss a thing. They checked out everything, even the decorations, as we were leaving.
Friday, Nonnie and I took a field trip to Frisco. We went to the mall, and then helped Little Bubba decorate his tree. We can't escape the mall without visiting our friends at the Disney store.
We had every intention of getting a picture with Santa, but when we got to his village, an elf told me she was marking the end of the line. I told her, "Oh good, we are looking for the end of the line." She said, "No, Santa is leaving to feed his reindeer, this is the end of the line. You should come on a week day when it is less crowded." I replied, "Oh, this is a weekday." The elf informed me Friday is now the weekend. This was news to us. Oh well! Catch you next week at Abby's school breakfast, Santa!
The girls did get a peek at Santa and were ecstatic when he waved to them and shouted hello.
At Little Bubba's house, the girls entertained themselves with poker chips.
Little Bubba showed them the opossum that lives under his deck.
The elves were back at work decorating another tree.
Little Bubba and Abby set up her play-doh icecream shop.
