Santa Happenings
As Christmas is quickly approaching Jackson and Aubrin have been very eager to see Santa.
Every year Shawn and Joe have a holiday party at their house for the kids and Santa comes for a quick visit. This year the Santa party was on a Wednesday, so it was a rush for Todd to get Jackson off the bus, make a quick dinner, meet me at work and then drive to Plymouth by 6:00. It's always easier for Shawn to do it during the week because everyone is always so busy on the weekends. All of the kids were so excited for Santa to arrive. They were all sitting on the floor in the living room when they head Santa's bells walking through the front door. All of the kids waited patiently until it was their turn. Jackson and Aubrin couldn't take their eyes off of him. Finally it was Jackson's turn and he was quick to go up. He told Santa that he really wanted a pirate ship. Santa said he would see what he could do and then gave Jackson a candy cane. 
It was Aubrin's turn next. She went up, not as quick as Jackson, but she went. She told Santa that she really wanted lip gloss and a hard game. The kids had a great time and Shawn always throws a festive gathering. I was equally excited as the kids. Many of my ladies that I lived with at MSU were their with their kids. It was a quick reunion for us.
Our neighborhood always has a breakfast with Santa every year at the club house. For some reason it didn't happen this year. We were really bummed. It is always a fun morning for the kids to see their friends from the neighborhood, have a nice breakfast and to see Santa. So Tami and Jason, our good friends in the neighborhood, decided to have a Santa party at their house for all of the kids. 
The kids were so excited when Santa came. Again, they all sat on the floor waiting their turn. Aubrin was called up first, but asked if she could wait. She was feeling a bit nervous. Jackson went up next. Again he told Santa that he wanted a pirate ship. Jackson was also excited that Santa brought him an early Christmas present. All of the kids sat on his lap and lastly he called Aubrin up again. She went and warmed up quickly. All of the kids had a great time enjoying their gift from Santa, and playing together. It was a great time for the adults to catch up as well.
A few weeks ago Jackson and Aubrin got an invitation to a North Pole party. One of Jackson's buddies from school was having the party. Jackson and Aubrin were excited and talked about what might be at the party. The party was adorable. The kids decorated cookies, made reindeer food, went on a scavenger hunt outside and met one of Santa's elves along the way. 
Jackson and Aubrin thought the scavenger hut was great. Santa left a note for the kids telling them all of the things he lost last year during his travels- black boot, eye glasses, jingle bells... the kids had a ball walking around with flashlights trying the find everything. Then we put it all in a box and gave it to Santa's elf that we met. It was a great time had by all.
