The Christmas cards for 2016 are starting to arrive!
Santa!
We went to Bass Pro Shops to visit Santa this evening. Laura asked for the American Girl Gourmet Kitchen and Pokémon Stuffed Animals. John asked for a mini basketball hoop for his bedroom and a ten-frame puzzle.
On a side note, Bass Pro Shops gives out free picture frames when you visit Santa on Mondays to Thursdays. It is actually a good quality frame. It was a nice surprise!
Christmas Pageant
Today was the St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church Christmas Pageant. Laura was a Wisewoman and John was a Shepherd.
Despite John’s apprehension over having to be part of the pageant (he was not thrilled to have to get up in front of everyone), both kids did great! I was highly amused that every time I took a picture, John turned to look and smile at the camera.
It is great to watch the kids be part of these traditions every year because they will be over way too fast.
