Santa Daddy

 I took the girls and Rielee to meet Kelly and Charb at the Carroll's Elementary Christmas Bazaar this afternoon. Kelly's friend is in the PTO there and Charb volunteered to play Santa.  Even though the twins said before we left that they weren't going to be afraid of Santa, when we got there they were both terrified and didn't want to go near him.  Once we got them close to him though, and he called out Harper's name, she recognized his voice - Santa was really Daddy!  She was okay then, but  Ava was still nervous and didn't want to go near him in that scary suit! 

 So they went to do some crafts instead.  First they made wooden snowmen,

which turned out very cute.

 Then they got to make evergreen arrangements in mugs.  They worked very hard on these,

taking lots of time to get them just right.

 They were proud of their creations.  Back at the bazaar, they got to buy some giant frosted marshmallows on a stick, which they each ate about a quarter of before we tossed them,

 and they also got candy canes from Santa, but Ava was still keeping her distance.

After the bazaar, Rielee went to spend the night with Ava and Harper.
