Not on our radar, the kids asked when we were having a Christmas party. After a few days of hearing them ask about having a party, I checked in with Santa to see if he was free. Fortunately he was! Unfortunately, the only day he had free was the last day I was on service. We were exceptionally lucky that Oma & Opa were visiting us to help out. John developed the menu with suggestions from Oma (olive feta bite, fruit tarts and chicken salad tea sandwiches). With me being "out of service", Oma and Opa were a huge help with the preparations.
Micah invited his friend Mark. At his most recent parent-teacher conference, I was informed that Mark and Micah as best buddies in the classroom. That was sweet music to my ears as a best friend has not existed for Micah since starting school.
He's here!
Santa answered many questions posed by the kids and gave his rendition of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas before each child was given time to sit on his lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas.
John and Santa had a fairly lengthy conversation about his occupation. I wonder what Santa told him.
Even adults can enjoy Santa!
There is always a point in the night when things get a bit crazy. It always seems to occur in the girls room.
A new game to try was the Saran Wrap ball game. Prizes are wrapped up into a ball. While one player unwraps this a quickly as they can, another play is trying to roll doubles. Once doubles are rolled, the ball moves to that player and the dice to the next player. This continues around the table until the ball is completely unwrapped. This was so much fun we are debating on when we can do it again.
