Wow! We were action packed this weekend! Saturday morning we had our last play practice for church and then we were off to Richmond. We wanted to try and get Addie to see Santa before the Princesses on Ice show but when we arrived at Bass Pro Shop(which was supposed to have a Santa's workshop) it was a 3 hour wait!!! Ridick! So we trudged on to the show and decided to see him afterwards. The Show was PHENOMENAL! Addie was very excited and did extremely well for a two hour show! Her first show like this. Her favorite was Tinkerbell, but she liked all the princesses and the other characters. It was money well spent! After the show we headed to Virginia Center Commons and saw Santa.
The angels were watching over us because she finally did it!! She went to him, of course with the death grip on my hand, but she went to him and told him she what she wanted for Christmas which was babydoll clothes and a Tinkerbell bicycle (*thanks Mimi). She didn't want to get on his knee but hey, no tears and talked to him about his reindeer and he showed her his neat watch (that's why his hand is out). He was a very nice Santa and I appreciated his good work in giving me my Christmas present- a picture of my daughter with Santa!
On Sunday, we had the Christmas play at church. The play this year was an idea I saw online, but I had to make it work for 23 little ones, so we did a rendition of the story of Christmas with lots of Christmas songs. It was called Hold Onto Your Hats, Jesus is Always with You. The idea was that no matter who you are and what "hat" you wear- Jesus will always be with you. So the kids would switch their hat with each song they sang. Too cute!
