We had a very pleasant surprise one evening with carolers at our door. This seems to be a thing of the past but I'm thankful our next door neighbor Daniel and his family thought of it and came to our door.
Over the years our church has put on a very elaborate event, Nights in Bethlehem. It takes a village to do this. John and Susan where Registrars, Hal and I were Shepards, helping people get to the right place. We had a market, thieves, live animals and the story.
Elysse signed us up for the Santa Run in the Shops of Legacy. This is a great location as it's flat, all decorated and close to home. We had a great time. It was a little early for some. We arrived around 8:00 am. Had to wake Anna up and Keith was feeling like crap. I can't believe he even went! Grandpa agreed to go but had no idea he got to wear a Santa suit. It was hilarious when he learned he would be dressing up.
Santas everywhere. I forget how many people signed up for the walk/run. This was just one small camera angle.
And out of all those people we found our friend Jeanne Hooker standing next to us with some of her girlfriends.
I have to mention that Keith and Elysse both ran and bet Hal and me. Keith sick as could be pushing Anna in her stroller and Elysse 6 months pregnant. Super couple!
He finally forgave me!!!!
Anna saw three different Santas and never liked one of them. Maybe next year.
Keith and Elysse were going to a party later that evening so we had Anna for a sleepover. She has her usual places to go and play and one of them is our bathroom.
I'm sure there is just one more thing back there she needs....
Now she's happy. Everything in plain view.
Anna and Grandpa have this thing about ice cream before bath and bedtime. She's at the age now that she prefers to feed herself with her spoon.
With her hands.....
Or drinking it...
Mornings are her best time. I could just squeeze this little girl. You know by this look you are in for a full day of fun! Love you Anna!
