well, there was a silent auction there...
normally, *i* am the one who has problems at silent auctions. i think i
need to win every item...
i was actually very proud of the ONE item that tim bid on...
(and he didn't even text me or call me to see if i thought it was a good idea!)
tim bid on an hour WITH SANTA CLAUS...anytime up until december 23rd!!!
you may recognize santa...we see him every year at storytime with santa at the enchanted forest...he is a very very
very patient man!!!
so, we decided to have a little party for our friends to all come over and visit with santa at our house!
we *just* had 7 families over, but that came out to SEVENTEEN kids!!!
everyone had their own time to sit in santa's lap...or near santa...or not so near santa...
and santa's elves had prepared some naughty and nice lists for him...
it was hilarious to watch the kids' faces when santa "called them out" on not eating their veggies, or not sharing with their siblings, or my personal fave..."giving the evil eye"! ha!
santa also gave tons of compliments to the kiddos...we had lots of kids learn to tie their shoes this year, ride a bike, learn their ABC's...
everyone had lots of fun!!! and we all loaded up on sugar, sugar, and more sugar!!!
all of the kids decorated pictures for santa before he came over...
and we all filled bags of reindeer food to leave out on christmas eve!
after everyone had their time to visit with santa, we tried to take a few group pics!
of course, baby jacob only lasted through about the first 30 minutes of the party, so he was snug as a bug in a rug by the time we tried to get a picture of ALL of the kids with jolly ole saint nick!
oh, yeah...it also happened to be my birthday...so we did sing and blow out candles...
but, we totally forgot about the cake...so we did that about 10 minutes before people had to start leaving to get home for bedtimes!
having santa come to our house was a MUCH better use of the 23rd than celebrating me getting a year older!!!
this was a really fun night and definitely something to consider making an annual tradition!
