It was a rainy evening on the night of our neighborhood Christmas party. However, they said rain or shine the party would still go on! The party said they had plenty of tents to cover people and lots of fun activities. So, we go, bundled up. We donated a toy for toys for tots, and saw Prancer (who the kids were very excited to see),
made cool reindeer hats,
We also saw Santa and one of his elves. Ashley was sure it wasn't the "real" Santa, but she was pretty convinced that the elf might really be one. Natalie didn't want to stand over there at all (I think it was Frosty that spooked her), but she decided standing in front of Ashley would be okay.
Well, of course it started POURING and getting really cold, and although we were under a tent, the kids were freezing! The funniest thing was the whole neighborhood counted down to lighting the tree and then the tree wouldn't light because the rain had shorted it out! Pretty funny...We all owe a big thank you to daddy who walked home to get the car and come back to pick us up because it was raining so hard. We still had fun though and warmed up with hot chocolate at home and a nice fire.

Your making the effort to take them despite the gloomy weather means the world to them in memories. So much more than just staying home! You're great parents!
Well, of course, Ashley knows the real Santa now that she's been to the North Pole! Meeting an elf is pretty cool though.
