2008 Cookie Party and a visit from Santa!

It was the annual Christmas Cookie Party at Mary's today and the kids were so excited. They got to see Santa! As tradition goes, Zoey had no fear and walked right up to Santa's lap. She told Santa that she wanted a dollhouse for Christmas. I thought Zander was going to be a little more shy, but it turns out he was a big Santa hog. He walked right up to Santa, sat on his lap (never smiled) wouldn't get down until Santa needed to let other children sit on his lap. Then Zander kept going up to Santa and climbing in his lap again! Zoey did let Santa know that Zander wants his own chair for Christmas. Then Santa handed out gifts to all the kids. It was cute because Zoey got her gift and brought it right over to me to open it and I hear her say, "Ohhh. . .it's my dollhouse." Then she opens it and yells, "It's a Fancy Nancy book and the Monkey game. . .it's what I always wanted!" Whew! Zander enjoyed his Curious George book and stuffed monkey. Thank you Santa and Mary for a great party!

Zander is brave! Santa is coming to visit on Christmas Eve and I am pretty sure Drew will not want anything to do with him. Zoey looks so sweet in her Christmas dress. We hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Someone left Zander hanging. He wanted to high five more people. Zoey is really brave as well. I'm so glad she told Santa what she and Zander wanted since they've been a good little girl and boy.
