What a good idea for a fundraiser! The elementary school hosted a breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus this morning, pancakes and bacon and fruit plus crafts, carols, and commerce! The kids were offered a chance to shop for friends and family in a "shop" that was set up with gifts that could easily be purchased with allowance money. Dennis made a snowman ornament, wrote a letter to Santa, sang carols and rang a handbell (and did some serious dancing), and had his picture made with the Clauses. Great morning!
This afternoon, Dennis and I attended a baby shower along with Gran. We walked in and Dennis asked "well, where's the shower?". Gran introduced herself to one of the other guests and Dennis popped up beside her and said "and I'm her grandson!". He had a good time and tried his best to orchestrate the gift unwrapping. We distracted him with crayons, and he told me which words he wanted to write while I told him what letters to use. His writing skills are impressive! He wrote 'Toy Story 3' and his name on the letter to Santa, and he wrote his name and 'baby' and 'laugh' at the shower.
We spent a fun evening with Gran, sharing pizza and Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (a hallmark of the season in our family), playing race cars and pacing off steps for 'duels' in the hallway. We both needed naps today--neither of us got them! I'm really going to have to lie around and rest for a few hours soon if I ever want to breathe through my nose again...perhaps after church tomorrow!
