We aren't sure where Shelby learned about Santa Claus, but she did tell me that he is REAL! We got a good laugh and tried to explain who St. Nicholas was and where the idea of Santa came from. I think she got it...maybe. The good thing is that she can "read" a book we have about the true meaning of Christmas ~ the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ! We are glad she understands that part - it is more important than her thinking Santa is real.
We attended the BP Christmas Party and had a nice time. Shelby was dancing like CRAZY (recall Elaine on Seinfeld!?). There were lots of kids and the girls had fun with them. Unfortunately we forgot to bring our camera to the party. Here are some before pictures:
We hope you are enjoying this time of year! I am trying to use every teachable moment with my girls and I hope you are doing the same with those in your life.
Beautiful tree and beautiful family! Looks like lots of fun! Wonderful dresses, girls! Your outfit is ok, Josh! :) love yous, auntie joy
ReplyDeleteYou all look so pretty and handsome! Love the little Christmas dresses - reminds me of when I was little and my grandma gave me a new Christmas dress every year. So fun! Glad you got a new camera - that sure is a huge difference! I got one too since my old one was giving me troubles, but it's a cheaper one than my old one, so we'll see how long it lasts - so far so good. I'm going to have to pick out one of these to frame (or maybe more than one! Thanks for posting! Love you.
