Ho Ho Ho!

We got to have a lot of Christmas celebrations with friends this year. It was so fun to watch Charlotte start to participate. I know she doesn't completely understand what is going on, but it will be great to watch her grow and understand more and do more through the years. We are so lucky to go to such a great church. Every year they do a Ho-Ho-Ho breakfast for the kids. There is a Santa Claus to see, Mrs. Claus who does a story time, decorations, arts & crafts, games, and oh yeah - food!

These were the decorations to greet us as we walked in the door.

Char points the way to the fun!

We weren't sure how Charlotte would take to Santa, but we were lucky to get to watch some friends before us visit with him and not be scared. When it was Charlotte's turn she let go of my hand and walked right up to him!

She doesn't smile for pictures these days, but she wasn't crying either!

Making some wonderful winter items

Snowball fight! There were sling shots that other kids were using. Charlotte just loved that their were balls. She ran around picking up as many as her little arms would hold. At one point there were not many to be found on the floor and we started laughing when we realized my child was hoarding them all!

She loved throwing them to no one in particular! We really did have a great time together as a family!
