On Saturday, the kids school hosted Breakfast with Santa.
Ready to go!Of course Santa was there handing out pictures and books and they had crafts for the kids to do, wreaths that each class had made that you could bid on and coloring stations. Alyssa & Brennan chose to do the same 2 crafts - making a wooden snowman measuring stick and doing a letter to Santa ornament. McKenna picked the beaded snowman pin and the gingerbread house picture frame.

Brennan with SantaAfter they finished their crafts and got their picture taken with Santa my mom picked them up for the night. She joined my MIL, niece Alexis and my SIL with niece Megan & nephew Trevor at the Swim with Santa event. Yes, Santa is swimming and they take underwater photos with the kids. For those that don't want underwater - like McKenna & Brennan - they do photos of them sitting in a chair inside the pool. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics to share of this event, but they had a BLAST!!! Next year I have to go to this, but this year David & I were finishing our shopping and enjoying a belated anniversary dinner. We had a great day and we think we are done shopping - think being the key word :-)
Today, David and I embarked on a bake-a-thon!!! We made chocolate chip cookies, pecan snowball cookies, double chocolate chip toffee cookies, chocolate covered peanut butter balls and english toffee.

All we have left are peanut butter cookies with hershey kisses and then we'll be done! These are for us as well as the kids teachers, bus driver and our trash men. I'm baked out....'tis the season!

Yummy! All of your cookies sound so good. I love the picture of Alyssa helping. She looks very proud.
Your kids are all so cute! The pictures are always so great that I can't pick a favorite.
I have never heard of a Swim with Santa. It sounds fun. I would have loved to have seen pictures from that. Did Santa have on red speedos? :-)
Have a wonderful Christmas!
The pictures are great. Holiday cookie baking always put me in the spirit of the season. And, David helps!I'm going to have to have a talk with Shane about that! :0)
Will any of those cookies be making it to the office??????
