At the beginning, they gathered all of the kids on the dance floor to call Santa to the party.
Apparently, to do that, one needs a dance floor full of kids doing the chicken dance. Braden, Leah and Cameron (and a ton of other kids) were more than happy to oblige.
"A little bit of that..."
What a cutie, peeking at Mama and Daddy
Emily wanted to come join in the dancing but was most comfortable doing so from the safety of her mama's arms.
More dancing
There were snacks and lunch, but the part that the kids liked the best was the decorate-your-own-cookie station. Leah decorated hers with LOTS of frosting.
Tasting her handiwork
I think she likes it!
The big excitement of the day was going up to see Santa. Leah wrote her letter to him, but was very tentative during the wait to see him. She is not a big fan of Santa.
Cameron was a very good big brother and tried to take Leah up with him and show her that Santa wasn't scary. She wasn't having any of that.
Then it was Mama's turn to try to coax Leah over to see Santa.
That didn't work either so it was our second year in a row that Mama was in the Santa picture with the kids!
They both got very nice gifts from Santa. Cameron got a really cool rocket kit and Leah got a Silvermist fairy doll. Both of them loved their gift. The entertainment during the party was a guy who did bubbles. I was thinking it was going to be really cool but he turned out to take way too long with the setup of each "trick" and got a ton of the kids, dressed in their nice clothes, soaked in bubbly mess. Most of the kids, including Cameron and Leah, got bored and came back to the table. It was still a fun party and the kids were really upset to leave at the end because they were having so much fun.
