Santa Clause is comming to town

Well Saturday we were back in Salem for the family Christmas party. It was another fun day with the cousins. Princess E and Annie were joined at the hip. They rode the bouncy horses, pretended they were at a spelling bee, ate tons of junk food and played with their new barbies. Being with family is a lot of fun.

About a week before, for family home evening, we painted Christmas ornaments. Princess E was so proud of hers and decided that she wanted to give hers to grandma and grandpa. So on Friday I helped her get out the wrapping paper and tape. She wrapped them all by herself and would not put them down until they were delivered to her grandparents at the Christmas party. Even in the car, she had to hold them instead of putting them in the trunk with the rest of the presents. She is such a sweetie.

Grandma pulled out the princess dress ups that afternoon and all the girls chose their favorite. Of course Princess E chose Cinderella and Princess M chose Snow White. They all were so cute.

The highlight of the night though was a visit from the big man himself. I was so impressed with the girls. This was the first year that Princess E was not afraid and running away as fast as she could go. In fact she kept thinking of things she had to tell Santa. Like show she had "3 grandma's", that she was Cinderella and she just had to give him a hug because she loved him so much.

Princess M was really brave too. She didn't want to sit there for very long. But there were no tears.

Merry Christmas!
