We went to one of those things that's only really fun for a two-year-old tonight. We read about a Christmas thing going on at a local Baptist church with all kinds of Christmas stuff and nativity scenes and all, so we took Dennis. It was in their gym, and there was a 'trail' through the 'snow' leading to different rooms. We toured a Nativity Room, a Snowman Room, a Santa Room, a Christmas Village Room, and an Angel Room. Dennis enjoyed looking at all the figures and backdrops set up in the rooms and especially loved the train and Christmas villages. He 'posed' for pictures in one of those backdrop things with the face cut-outs (and this is the only pic he smiled for!). He got to make an ornament--the choices were Santa, a reindeer, or a snowman and he chose Santa. He also enjoyed some homemade brownies and cookies and candy there, free and delicious. There were lots of decorated trees and lights everywhere and Dennis thought it was all wonderful. They did a nice job with it, and David and I probably would have loved it more but there were children (unsupervised) running everywhere! Rude children who cut in front of Dennis and grabbed things and ran into him and tripped him in their excitement to get to all the stuff. Dennis still had a magical time, naturally, and so we are glad we went. Our other beef with the thing: the paper said Santa would be there (which I was astonished about, since it was a church function) and we had told Dennis he would. He wasn't. Dennis was very disappointed. He was happy to see all the nativity scenes, though, happily pointing out Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus and the animals, telling me "the shepherds are coming to see baby Jesus" and "the Wise Men are bringing presents to baby Jesus". It was another nice seasonal outing. We seem to be having a lot of those lately and I just love it!
