Kid's Christmas Party

On Saturday we went to our squadron's Children's party. Some of the helpers f0r the party were out with a stomach bug going around(we had it last weekend) so I got roped into helping as an elf. But the kids had fun and had a chance to run around out of our little hotel room.
They made crafts and ate dinner and jumped in the bouncy castle. Then of course, Santa came. He was the old style Santa. All of the children got gifts. Jake was near the last to be called up to see Santa. He was worried out of his mind. It didn't help that we were teasing him that he must not have been good enough this year; he was almost in tears by the time they called his name! Megan had no desire to see Santa this year. She did like his gift and candy cane though!

I can't believe tht Santa brought the kids gifts! That is so neat. Actually, the whole idea that his squadron had a party FOR the kids is awesome. Way to go FireFighters! Hopefully I'll see you at playgroup!!!

Hudson has never visited with Santa. He has a phobia of Santa and mascots. Do you remember the baseball game this summer?
