Here we have what I think will be the 3 amigos. Destiny, Madi and Kenna. They have a lot of fun together and have become very good friends, just like me and Missy.
The River Falls Costume Carolers. They come every year and sing for us... just beautiful. If you're not in the Christmas spirit before you hear them... you will be when they are done.
The girls sure like them.
OK, so Santa shows up of course. He walks through the door with the loud HO HO HO... Destiny sees him from across the room and runs screaming "SANTA" while lunging into his arms. Thank God he caught her. Everyone saw it, got really quiet... I think they were all thanking God for him catching her too, then burst into laughter. The Legion people REALLY like their Santa. He deploys for Afghanistan in January with our first vice commander. Really great guys. Stay tuned for me begging for donations to ship these guys goodies while they are gone.
I was so proud of Destiny... during her talk with Santa, one of the questions was "are you keeping your room clean"? Destiny's face turned red like I've never seen before, she wrinkled her nose, looked Santa right in the eyes and said "no, my room is messy". He Ho HO HOed, shocked her, then he told her she was a good little girl for telling the truth. He already knew her room was messy, but since she told the truth she was going to get a special gift at Christmas. I was just a proud Gramma snappin pictures. Santa told me later that as soon as that came out of his mouth he worried she would remember that and not get a special gift from "Santa"... I said, "you're talkin to Gramma and I'll make sure she gets a special gift from Santa, don't you worry about that. He was so relieved. Who knew Santa worried about such things! I already have the gift, just need to wrap it and make a special tag from Santa.
My special Christmas dinner table. Dane was there too and I thought he was in the picture... There's Greg, Kenna, Madi, Missy, Destiny, Tami, Me and Dane was there REALLY!
And then of course Missy and I had to tell Santa what we wanted for Christmas... I want an IPod/Ipad speaker dock. You know, the thing you can set the toys in and listen to your music around the room... Santa, don't forget. I've been a very good girl this year!
