(Picture taken at breakfast with Santa)

Z was mad in this picture,
because I was trying to take
his picture and he wanted Santa to let him down
to run around...lol
(Poor Santa)
He is not scared of Santa at all.
He actually kept going up to him
the whole morning trying to get his attention.

 I love having breakfast with Santa
because you actually get to spend time
with him. We try to go every year.

All about today...

What a fun, fun, day it has been for our little ones. We woke up bright & early to have breakfast with the Jolly Guy. This was so exciting for the kids. I wish I could show you all the pics ,but since all the pics have foster kids in them(mine & our friend's fosters) ,we can't share them.
Today was also our foster family Christmas party. Many of our county businesses sponsored this event and they went all out to make sure all of our foster families had an extra special day:)

I think we may have to put Z in Tap...lol

He loves to Tap Dance.

He makes me think of the little penguin  "Happy Feet".

Next, we attended "Hope For Christmas". This was a sweet & special event. I believe it will be one that our children will never forget.

Finally, we made our way home and yes we were all tired. After a little rest, I decided The kids & me would try some of the recipes I've had planned to do. I've tried to include the kids in EVERYTHING I've done this Holiday season...even baking. The kids love being in the kitchen & helping. We now have lots of special treats to share with our church family tomorrow night, after the play.

Today, I  got most of my Christmas cards

This is what our Elfie was up to this morning.

Our poor tree has been Zach attacked.

Here is a neat little craft the kids did last night.

Z's feet grew horns...lol

(He is very proud of it:)

Anyhow, that's our day. How was yours? I sure hope you are enjoying this special time of the year just as much as we are. Well, I'm off to bed. I'm one tired mom. Goodnight everyone!

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,and he will direct thy paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6
