Christmas Parties

Ellen got to visit with Santa many times in December.  She was a big fan and all her school friends were convinced that she and Santa were very tight.  Her besty even went home and told her mother, "Ellen knows Santa!".  When the Little Bee got a chance to see Santa wandering around the Walmart on our last trip to the Oxbow she said "Look, Mommy, Santa!  Can I go hug him?".  Of course we went and visited with him.  She climbed right into his lap and told him that she had been a good girl and wanted pink toys.  She repeated this performance at the church Christmas party.

 

The Little Bee accompanied Mommy, Cece and Aunt Margaret to a tea at the Heritage Society.  She was so good and enjoyed her first real tea party, especially the huge pink cupcakes.

 

 

When they moved into the educational lecture part of the tea, Ellen decided that she would prefer to head outside and check out the historic homes.  Mommy took this opportunity to snap some shots of of Ellen in her Christmas dress.

 

What can I say, she is a total ham.  The best Christmas party was the one that Davis invited us to at his golf club.  Ellen got her face painted, watched a magic show and chatted up Santa again.  They also had the most talented balloon animal maker I have ever seen!  Here is Ellen requesting a pink watch - which Santa delivered. 

 

 

The same weekend Ellen and I, along with Davis and his mommy, all of our church friends for a gingerbread house decorating party.  By the time the party rolled around I was too pooped to take any pictures but I did get a shot of the tree Ellen helped me decorate.  She did a great job being careful with all of the glass ornaments.  She only broke one but that was because he was a sneaky fox and probably related to Swiper from Dora the Explorer.  Or so she informed me at the time.

 

 

Well, it is now the Saturday before New Years and I just have to catch you up on the school Christmas pageant and Christmas day.  These will all post after New Years (including this post) but I think I can make it - even with the incredibly slow Internet at the beach house.  Wish me good luck! 

Love, The Little Bee and her Momma
