Ward Christmas Party

Kate has been loving this Christmas season. She loves looking at Christmas lights, screaming "Pretty!" at every house when we take our drives. She loves our tree, the presents, the music--every day I get more and more excited for next Saturday to get here. She loves anything Santa and says, "Ho ho HO!" anytime she sees him. So, needless to say it really surprised us when she was actually afraid of him at the party!

I know that a lot of kids are afraid of Santa, but this is just opposite of Kate's personality.  She's always smiling and waving and saying "Hi!" to everyone when we're out running errands.  She always goes to anyone at church, and she's just never been one to be afraid of strangers.  (Something that might not be her best trait!!)  So for her to be afraid of Santa was really surprising for us.

 

While we were waiting in line, Dustin tried really hard to get her excited, and she was...until we sat her on his lap.  So we quickly got our pictures taken, got our candy cane from Mrs. Claus, and went back to where she really wanted to be:  dancing with Daddy.

 Our ward Christmas party was so much fun!  We had a potluck, with some seriously amazing food!  Then some of the members did some skits, and some musical numbers, and we even had Santa dance with a live band!



It was seriously, so fun.  Thanks to everyone who put it on!  I love this ward!
