Morningstar & Santa

Today was Sawyer's preschool holiday party and performance. It was SO cute watching the kids sing their incredibly p.c. "We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a happy Hanukkah, we wish you a merry Kwanzaa, and a happy new year!"


(Where's Waldo Sawyer? Back left corner, in the blue hood!)

After their musical performance, Sawyer's teacher, Ms. Robyn, announced that she had just seen Santa's sleigh fly overhead! The kids quickly ran around to see if they could catch a glimpse of it, but of course they were too late to see anything...except Santa himself standing in the doorway to their classroom! Santa took time to meet with each and every kiddo (and their siblings), pose for pictures and pass out candy canes. It was a fantastic surprise for both the children and their parents (especially those of us who hadn't yet taken our kids to see the creepy mall Santa this year!), and it truly made the kids' day to have Santa show up at their class party ♥


Sawyer was eager to sit on Santa's lap, and he told him that he wanted a Batman house for Christmas (good thing Santa already knew that!).


Sutton wanted nothing to do with Santa until he was bribed with a candy cane into taking this one quick photo. He never actually spoke a word to Santa, but he did give him a high-five as he was leaving.


After Santa left we were treated to a potluck lunch with an incredible amount of different kinds of treats and goodies. The boys sat side-by-side and laughed and joked...at one point I swear it looked like they were actually sitting there gossiping about the other people. I love the little inside jokes they share with each other :)
