Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

We went to Fiesta Navidenia on Monday at the Provo Library or in English, Christmas party. We waited in line for an hour to see Santa! They were really good sports. Santa did a good job. Alona so noticed the difference between this Santa and the Santa that was at the mall. Like, "Mom why is his beard longer." "His boots are different." One day we will tell her about "Helpers" but for now it is fun to believe that they are Santa. "His beard grows fast", I told her.
They had ornaments to make. Paper Christmas trees that we glued buttons on. We all did our own, they are all unique and awesome. There was hot chocolate that tasted like coffee. Alona wouldn't touch the stuff. She had never tasted coffee before and she immediately tasted this and said, "Ew, yuck this is coffee, I don't want it." Abbi enjoyed it ALL! There were paper Santa Claus and snowmen that we put on sticks, colored and put cotton balls on. And now we are able to sing Santa songs and Frosty the Snowman with it. And the last part was the singing and dancing. Abbi was mezmorized and Kacen sat still! They didn't want to leave by 8:45. The Dancing was awesome, it was like Hispanic square dancing. Abbi consented to sit with Santa, I had to tell her that we could send a picture to Grandma! And that worked, though she was a little confused. She thought that Grandma would be there when we took the picture. At the mall last week when they saw Santa, Abbi wouldn't go near him.."I don't want to see him." "I don't like Santa." She seriously said those things. She had to have the elves help her get the candy cane. She wouldn't go to close to HIM. The Santa at the Library gave out a bagful of treats! WOW! They were happy all night, and they can all open their own treats, well except for Kacen:)


I managed to get some stocking stuffers at the store while shopping with my children and they didn't notice, probably will be my last time with that. Alona noticed the treats at the register and just thought that it was like the checkout candy, "can we have some." I commented, would you like to have some candy like that in your stocking? "Yes" "I will tell Santa!"
We were at the grocery store and this lady with white hair walks by our cart.
Abbi:"Thats a Grandma"
Alona: Thats not a Grandma, that's a really old MOM."
Just thought that was so darn cute, had to put it on here so that I could remember it.
And Five times a day..."When is it going to be Christmas??"
