Ohhhhhh....you better watch out!

You better not cry...

You better not pout....

I'm telling you why....

Santa Claus is coming to town....

First holiday party of the season and SANTA was there !  Hoorah.  Its a good thing too because the party which was supposed to be a decoration party for us to make stuff to send to the FOBs for Christmas got scaled down to a single small table with some cheap crayons and white computer paper.  I was pretty irritated, but apparently they got a lot of stuff donated and after the donations they decided they didn't need to do any more craft activity.  BUT, there was nothing else for the kids to do!  Anyhow...lame.

This little girl asked Santa for a baby doll for Christmas.  I think she *may* just get her wish come true!

I've been debating the merits of having Santa add a small piece of coal to her stocking with a reminder to be good next year.  She's been such a pill lately...well, actually, she's much improved from September, but still...maybe some coal would remind her that someone other than me is watching? 

Then Bella met Santa...and she was NOT happy about sitting on his lap.  I think just about every kid has one of these scream your head off Santa photos.  And yes, thats a giant carrot in Bella's hand.  She insisted on a giant carrot - not a slice of carrot, not a smaller carrot...that giant carrot in its entirety.  Its cute...all nibbled up.

And a close up just in case you didn't get the full hilarity of her screaming face.  I was really pleased with how cute our santa was...doesn't he just look GREAT?!

Santa Claus is coming to townnn!
