Every year the town of Panaca does a little Christmas program. There is always some sort of entertainment and usually Christmas carol singing, culminating in the visit from Santa. Every 10 minutes or so one of "Santa's elves" runs in to give the audience an update on Santa's whereabouts. This year they said that Santa's sleigh had crashed just outside of Panaca and the search and rescue had to go find him so they sent everyone outside to watch for the fire truck to go by. As soon as everyone got outside the fire truck came cruising down the street with lights and sirens blaring and Santa hanging out the window waving. The elves said he had to go out to the Service station to get his sleigh. We all went back inside to await Santa and suddenly heard hooves on the roof. And then Santa came in and all the kids went crazy. It is so fun to live in a small town where they can do these kinds of things!
Ethan of course waited patiently in line and went straight up to Santa to tell him what he wanted. Cars and bugs.
Olivia, again had absolutely no interest in Santa. Our old babysitter even tried to take her up and sit on Santa's lap with her and as you can see by the picture she is giving Chelsey the death grip because she really really does not like Santa at all.
When we got home from seeing Santa we let the kids set up their toys they got in Ephraim. Ethan was so excited that he brought down buckets of hot wheels so he and Jake could test them out to see which ones zoomed best on the track.
Olivia set up her castle and kept having the prince and princess eat dinner and go for walks with the pony.
Chelsey (our old babysitter) gave Olivia a baby Cinderella doll and she wanted to sleep with it but she usually sleeps with her other two babies and couldn't decided which one to choose so she just slept with all of them. What a little goofball.
