Christmas is Coming

We are off to a great start this Christmas season. We spent Thursday morning putting up the tree and decorating it. Then on Friday, David put up the lights on the house and finished the decorating. I spent the wee hours trying to get the Black Friday specials and got a great start to my Christmas list. I only wished I got more of some items. Oh well. I had a great time shopping with my friends (the only way to do it). I hope to have Ging take my Christmas photos this week (after the flu sickness has passed through her family and Mom & Dad & Boyd). My neighbor gifts are waiting for cute little tags and they should be ready to be passed out on Monday. Then I can sit and enjoy the holidays.

On Monday, Santa came to Karah's preschool (The teacher is about to have a baby so I'm sure she wanted to get this out of the way). Landon was so excited to go to Karah's school and had so much fun. They had lots of activites to do before Santa came.

Making potpourri cups.
Rubbing shaving cream on Santa's beard.

Santa brought a book for every child even Landon. When Santa first walked in Landon crawled into my lap scared. But when his name was called Landon jumped right up and wasn't worried at all. I guess it helps knowing he is going to get a present. When Santa asked what he wanted for Christmas Landon said, "This" holding the present. It was cute! I guess you had to be there.

Karah was excited to get her name called. She told Santa that she wanted a dog for Christmas. I don't think so. I don't think so.

Karah wasn't bashful at all. She was so excited to shake Santa's bells as we sang Jingle Bells.

So today, Tuesday, with Karah's other preschool we had lunch with Santa. From the moment she woke up she was asking if it was time to go. I hope it was everything she thought it would be. We went to Paradise Bakery where the kids ate a lunch of mac n cheese, fruit cup and cookie plus a goody bag. Did I mention this was free?

Then Santa made his rounds to us. Look at this Santa. He was the best I think I've ever seen. He was very happy and sat and talked with each child for a few minutes. I Believe!!I love this picture. She was in heaven. This is Karah's preschool class. (The one I do with a bunch of moms.)
