Other Christmas Activities

Ward Christmas Party

We got there early to get a good seat and sit on Santa's lap without drama. There's always Drama. Claire did for just a minute but the boys wouldnt go near him. They did tell him though, Claire wants a "pink-kitchen-microwave-highchair" And Jack wants a Dinosaur, and Maxie needs a firetruck and a trike. They were cute. But I chose the WAY wrong table. We sat right by the desserts and it was all I could do to keep the kids out of it while we waited for our turn at dinner.

Loch Raven Santa Firetruck Ride

Our neighborhood assocation takes my hefty $40 a year HOA and gets Santa to come visit the neighborhood on a train of firetrucks and police cars. Again, crying, and then Claire panicked and realized her chance was almost over to ammend her previous request, she needs new barbie clothes too. So between sobs and panick she did happen to blurt that out, and once the boys were off his lap again they were able to give their requests. Such funny babes.

Towson Tree Lighting

We also went to the Towson tree lighting ceremony. We met the grinch, got glow sticks, and just as things were getting started, Jack tipped the stroller over. We did see the lights go on and Santa on the fire truck, but really, the night was short lived. Poor Jack. Check out his head!
