Lily had many parties at school including her Christmas party, Kwanza party and Haunakah party - they celebrate the whole gambit at her school. As you will see below, she sat on Santa's lap and visited with Mrs. Claus at her school party. We asked her what she asked Santa for and she said "I still need to think about it." On Friday, she got another chance as we just happened to be at the mall and she saw Santa and had to sit in his lap again. Jack was having no part of Santa, so Lily had a quick visit and told him that she wants a jump rope and a kite - we will see if Santa comes through!
On Saturday, we celebrated Christmas with Tracy, Stan and Casey because they will be in Roanoke for Christmas day. We had lots of fun just hanging out, opening some presents, making some cookies, and eating some cookies! On Sunday, Mom and Lily went to buy some ski gear for Lily for our upcoming ski trips in January and February and then had lunch with Tracy, Kelly, and Grandma Gail. That night brought Haunakah and the first night of lighting the candles and opening presents. Today it was back to school and Beatrice but after tomorrow, the kids will be off school/nanny until the 5th! Tonight brought more haunakah presents and a visit from Aunt Kelly. Next week we will be posting from FL, looking forward to some warm weather...
Happy Haunakah! Merry Christmas!
