Sittin On Santa's Lap

We didn't get a chance to get to the Mall to see Santa this year. Luckily he was invited to The Little Gym (TLG) for their annual Christmas Party for members. So this kids lucked out and got to tell Santa what they really wanted for Christmas this year.

Shantel kept telling everyone that she was going to ask Santa for Bendaroos. Who really knows what they are or why, but that is the thing she wants.

Kallie was excited for Santa until we got close to him. So Miss Stephanie (her dance teacher) sat with her and told him that she wants Snow White dolls.

Keegan jumped right up in his lap and asked for a big truck and a candy cane. Yes, a candy cane. Any time you asked him what Santa was going to bring he said a candy cane...no toys, just a yummy little candy cane.

Because Shantel is in the advanced gymnastics group at "TLG" they were to perform a little show for all the members and their families. Shantel only had 2 days to learn the skit, because she played hookie on her birthday;) Shantel was a little nervous with all the people and not knowing all the parts, but once she got into it, she did great. You could hardly tell she didn't know all the parts and she just DID it! We are so proud of her.

See Shantel on the big round mat? That is how they teach them to do back hand springs. She will be doing them soon enough.

Kallie's Annual Preschool Christmas Program

Kalli's preschool class has been working hard on their Christmas program. It is a lot of fun to see all the kids sing song they have been working so hard on. It is especially fun to see the kids that Kallie has been talking about. The little girl (in the black) standing next to Kallie is Bella one of Kallies best frinds at school. They are holding reindeer puppets singing Rudolf!
