Breakfast with Santa

The girls love our annual breakfast with Santa at the museum.  They love the time with Jack and Carter, that we have the whole museum to ourselves, the crafts, food, and attention from Santa.  

Who can resist running down an empty ramp that leads to one of your favorite places.  

All smiles for Santa

Caroline asked for a dog.

Audrey asked for LOL dolls and makeup.

Claire asked for pizza chubbles (a stuffed animal) and a Barbie family.  Emmerson asked for make up too.  

Our whole crew- year 5!

No line for the slide is the BEST part!  

And having Jolly Days to ourselves before the museum opens is pretty great! 

These two!  Best Buddies, since they were babies! 

Claire's First Reconciliation

Claire was excited but nervous about her first reconciliation.  Thankfully we had dinner with Father Michael the night before and they made a plan.  She planned to go first and get it over with.  Which she did!

Advent Concert

The girls love the advent concert.  They get to dress up and sing holiday songs.  It is always a little crazy on a school night and in our little church that hardly holds all the school families! 

Audrey's class wasn't part of this concert, they had their own time on a different day.

Kicking off Christmas

It has become tradition for us to spend an evening downtown on the circle seeing the lights, getting dessert, and going on a carriage ride.  This year it happen to fall on December 1st, which was a fun way to kick off the Christmas season.

The girls get so excited to do the carriage ride! 

Saying thank you to the horse.
