Santa Clause is coming to town

Today was Varian's annual Family Christmas party (for the kids). Since our "kids" think they are too old to sit on Santa's lap - we took our Grandkiddies instead.

Annie didn't quite know what to make of this guy - I don't quite know what to make of him either, but he handed out a little goodie bag that she did like.

Here I am with both both of my girls.

Annie did NOT want to sit on Santa's lap, she was just happy to "peek" at him, but didn't seem to mind it too much when we put her on his lap anyway - she did great. This year, Cate didn't mind sitting on Santa's lap, we'll see how she does next year.

Annie was excited to open the gift that Santa gave her -

She was very excited to see it was Tinker Bell.

When you put her in this stand and push the button - her wings flutter!

Here is Papa with Annie & Cate, and Cate's present - her first blocks.

In that goodie bag the big yellow M&M looking guy gave Annie, there was a paper gingerbread house with lots of cute stickers to decorate your own house. Annie did a great job of making the most wonderful gingerbread house - Thank's Papa, for taking the girls to your work for the party!
