Santa came to Preschool

OOPS....I forgot to post this prior to the Christmas program post......last Wed the children were surprised when Santa came to visit them at preschool! The children all took turns going up to talk to him. Thanks Stacy for the pics!!!!!

In depth conversation here.......

I LOVED THIS ONE!!! So sweet....her whispering a secret to Santa.

Santa gave each child a little pouch that held a gold key to be left on the front door of their homes so he could make sure he could get in to bring their gifts. SO CUTE!!

Annual Christmas dinner at Patti's

Friday night my mom, dad, brother, his girlfriend Heather and her nana and us headed to Patti's for our annual Christmas dinner there. We love going there this time of the year to enjoy a nice family dinner....and the girls LOVE all the lights and decorations they have everywhere! It is such a neat atmosphere there! We all had a wonderful evening with each other!

Mary Kate decided instead of waiting for someone to get her some bread she would just take apot for herself......it was the funniest thing....she was eating it like she would an ice cream cone!

Mary Kate was EXCITED when she saw the live animals outside!!

The girls with Ms. Claus.....whom they had never met before!! WOW!!! She was very sweet!

Campbell telling Santa what she wants for Chrstmas....now for the 5th time!!!
(And being it was the 5th time seeing Santa....I knew it was coming....she said Santas were different looking.....I had to explain that he had helpers because he couldn't be everywhere all the time.....but the Santa that she saw at church and at pre school was the same one and he was REAL Santa.)

Holy Cross Preschool Christmas Program

Last Thursday Campbell had her preschool Christmas program at Holy Cross.....They have been practicing so hard for several weeks and we were all so excited to see it! I think the children were a bit nervous that morning though....especially when they walked in and saw all of their parents, grandparents and other family. It was absolutley ADORABLE! They all did so good singing their songs! Ms. Angie and Ms. Connie are WONDERFUL with the children and I am so glad Campbell has gotten to attend preschool there this year. I have seen so many wonderful things come out of Campbell over the 4 months she has been there.
