Last year I held a Christmas party with Santa which was a success. Izzy asked if we were doing the same thing this year. And so we did. This has made the task of finding Santa for present request much simpler. We invited several of our favorite school friends and condo courtyard neighbors.
Our neighbor Margaret. Victoria and Margaret hit it off. When Victoria saw Margaret's wings, she promptly needed hers on as well.
Izzy's friends from school; Zoe, Izzy, Siri, Bonnie and Valentina.
Izzy and the girls sat on the stairs outside our door waiting for Santa to come. When he did, there was nothing but screaming. I wish I had a camcorder at that moment. All of the adults were laughing so hard. A neighbor at the end of the courtyard said she heard them all the way down there.
He is here!!!!
Santa certainly entertained old and young at the party.
Though interested, Micah & Victoria hung back safely away from Santa near our upstairs neighbor Michelle and her son Judah.
Izzy loved telling Santa what she wanted... real cooking things. She was also a great big sister telling him what Micah & Victoria wanted. Neither sat on his lap but they did shout towards the end what they wanted. We are making progress.
No so sure about Santa but tolerating being this close for a picture.
The older kids creating a spot for themselves.
Proudly showing what Santa brought us.
The play kitchen always is a hit for the younger ones. Four tried to get in at one point but that was a bit crowded.
