Pre-Christmas Fun



Lighting the tree

 Preston went to visit Santa at Westwood City Hall last year, and Callie joined in the fun this year. Well, she really just ran around like a mad woman and screamed a lot. BUT you can't say we didn't try to get her to have fun!  They started things off with the lighting of the Christmas tree and some carols sung by the local high school choir. Then Santa made his BIG entrance (police escort and all), and everyone went inside for some cookies, stories, and lap time with the big man.  Preston was ALL about it, and was actually the very first person to sit on his lap! I missed most of his time with Santa on video. And Callie was off running around (quite possibly sitting in the mayor's chair), so she isn't in much of the video. We did get a few pics with Santa and both kids at the very end of his time there.  Then all of the kids followed him outside to use their bells to help his sled fly. The sled is AWESOME. It shoots fire, plays music, and is every child's dream. Good stuff.



"I swear I've been good!!'

Next up is the video message Santa sent Preston. The little dude doesn't sit still very often, but you can see how mesmerized he is by this. The end of the video is footage of opening presents at my mom's house. Callie figured it out fast and was trying to open my presents by the end of the night. She's a quick learner!

Hope you enjoy your Christmas!
