Ahhh.....I'm tellin' ya!!

You better not cry, you better not pout, you better not cry, you better not pout!!!  (repeat like 100 times)  

Scout was asleep while brother was singing.  I guess that is obvious because she would be correcting this poor guy.

We did bump into the jolly fella at Trail's Christmas Program.  Scout was excited and anxious.  Reno wouldn't sit in his lap, but did grab onto his arm.

So we've never tried to convince our children that Santa is real.  We mostly just don't say much about it.  We usually don't even say "what do you want Santa to bring you?".  

So, not too long before Christmas this was our conversation.

Scout: Is Santa real?

Me: What do you think?

Scout: REAL

I'm sure that if I had been trying all along to convince her that he was real, she wouldn't believe me! 

"Merry Christmas

to you all, and how do you do?  We are all so happy to see you!!"

This was Scout's line at the Kindergarten Christmas Program.

 I figure they put her first because if she were to forget....no problem!  She will just make something up and go with it.  The kids did great and I can't imagine the amount of work the poor teachers put into it.

Reno watched intently and then bolted off to be in the class picture as soon the program was over.  

Thanks to Miss Summer and Aunt Hope for coming to watch.  I'm pretty sure that really made the whole thing!

There was also a class party....

Full of friends and family,

fun games,

yummy treats

and crafts

 Mr. Reno was right there with his sister.  He acted so big and just went with the flow.  I'm afraid it will be like the beginning of school all over again in January when sis goes back.....for me too! :(

Thanks to all of the Kinder Mamas that helped me put together this fun time for the kiddos.  

Most of all thanks to the sweet teachers that take such good care of our babies.
