Christmas party number 3 was my side of the family. It is our tradition to gather together with extended family before Christmas and have yummy food, a nativity with the kids and the Christmas story read from the scriptures, lots of singing of hymns and Christmas tunes, and even a visit from Santa himself. Allary was really really looking forward to seeing Santa. She had been asking me for months for the Barbie Mariposa doll (she has the movie) and I kept telling her to ask Santa. So, a week or two before Christmas, she wrote her letter to Santa detailing her request. The second she saw Santa arrive at the party the first words out of her mouth as he walked past her were, "Santa! I want a Mariposa!" :)
Again, I feel like a slacker what with the lack of pictures. I don't have a single picture from the nativity or Allary dressed like an angel. Here are the few pictures I do have.
Allary and her cousin Megan.
Allary and Santa. This was the first year she wasn't terrified of him. She waited and listened intently for her name to be called and when she did hear her name, she hopped up, elbowed her way through the kids in front of her and jumped right up on his lap. Amazing.
And of course, Santa delivered. She was sooooooo happy. I think if that was all that Christmas was, she would have been satisfied.
This is Jason trying to figure out how to assemble Mariposa's wings. :)
