Visit with Santa

WOW! Am I ever behind in blogging?? The flu hit out house the first day of Christmas break. Grace was the first to go down and two days later I knew I had it, too. I am just now starting to feel like myself again. We had an amazing Christmas but before I get to that, I have some catching up to do! After having milk and cookies with Santa, we went down to meet him at his sleigh. With last year's Santa photo in mind, I totally expected the worse. I thought that maybe if her friends did it first, she MIGHT consider it. Well, this little girl never ceases to amaze me! Her buddies were having none of Santa but she walked right up and hopped in his lap like he was an old best friend!

She told him she would like a doll house for Christmas and did it like a pro!

Milk & Cookies with Santa

A couple of weeks ago we met up our friends at the mall to have milk and cookies with Santa.

These girls crack me up with how excited they get over seeing each other some where besides school! They had just spent the whole day together but being out in public was a THRILL! They got seated and started decorating their cookies.


Sweet Caroline

The Tigue Girls

"Pres-A-ley" as Grace calls her.

Then Santa came to greet us and the girls were ecstatic to see him (and know that the table was between them!)


Grace left her stickers on the chair, which I forgot about so I'm sure a mall worker enjoyed peeling those off!

The children gathered on the floor and listened to Santa read The Night Before Christmas.

I think Grace still had some icing on her lip because she kept licking it during the story!


When the story was over this precious little boy ran up the steps to the stage and jumped up in Santa's lap. It was so sweet!

I love that these little girls have so much fun together. They don't remember ever not being friends and I hope they'll be this close forever. I pray that Grace will always have sweet girlfriends who will build her up and be there for her.

Grace & Santa Through The Years

2008 - Perfect, not a care in the world

2008 - TERRIFIED of Santa. This was taken at her school. I had hoped Jon and I could take her later on our own but after seeing her face I just couldn't do it.

2010 - I couldn't believe it, but Grace LOVED Santa! She hopped right up in his lap, talked to him about how she wanted a doll house and took a pretty picture. I was so proud of her. I can't believe how much she has grown over the past year. She is definitely a little girl now, not a baby at all. She is loving everything about the Christmas season... the songs, the decorations, everything!
