Our playgroups Christmas party was tonight. Claire got ALL sorts of dressed up. She was fascinated with Santa's beard. We think she's trying to convince him that she deserves to be on the "nice" list!
Can the girl wear a tutu or can the girl wear a tutu!
Luke had a blast. Mainly because there were balloons and children to chase him! His two favorite things :)
Of course, we had a moment of panicked pleading in the parking lot when we got there. He was positive we were taking him to "school" and there was no convincing him otherwise. I wanted to cry. I hate that we caused him so much anxiety! So we were so happy that he jumped right in to play with "fun kids".
Ah, so happy. I adore this boy.
Balloon fight!
I asked Luke if he would like to see Santa. Of course, he said "No, mommy. No Santa today!"
So we sat on the floor watching the other kids climb on and off Santa's lap. Then Santa gave the kids candy canes. As soon as Luke saw this, he shouted "Sucrets!" and pushed through the pile of kids, perhaps stepping on one or two on the way, went right up the the Jolly old elf and got him a "sucret"! So I guess, this is my Santa picture of Luke this year :)

Sweet, sweet victory
Luke's crafts. He decorated the paper bag all by himself. He put the stars on his frame, and I didn't let him touch the painted ornament...that was Mommy's craft :)
It was a great night!

Zoe - how did you do that ornament?? I have a dozen of those clear ones to do with the kids and have no idea of what to do!
Nothing like a good sucret to make a kid love Santa.
