Christmas Festival



Today we went to a Christmas Festival in Karen's subdivision. It was so much fun. They had balloon sculptures, face painting, crafts, cookie decorating and frozen hot chocolate. Only in Texas, or Arizona, would they serve frozen hot chocolate in the middle of December. My kids believe that today they met the real Santa, not a helper, but the real, honest to goodness Santa. He was so great. Garrett was so excited to see him He ran up and gave him a huge hug. Blake on the other hand could have gone the rest of the year without seeing the jolly old soul again. He came out on the patio as the kids were eating their snacks and showed the kids what it would look like when he came down the chimney. Then he asked the kids who their favorite reindeer was and of course they all said Rudolph. He then busted into song with Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Josie and Garrett stood on the fireplace and sang with him. They had a great time. We always have lots of fun when were with the Christensen's. The kids are so excited to see Santa in a couple days they can hardly stand it. I have to admit it, even I am getting pretty excited.

That was the greatest Christmas party and I do believe that Santa was the REAL deal!
