Yesterday was the kids Christmas party on base. We didn't take Addie last year because she was so little, but we decided to take her this year. Mainly we thought it would be our chance to get her to see Santa so we wouldn't have to take her to the mall to see him. Anyway, Grammy wanted to go with us too and Addie loved that! It was a big to-do - there were craft tables, lots of food, games, and FIVE blow up jumpy house-thingys. (Which Addie LOVES!) We wouldn't let her go down the big blow up slide because it was huge, but she did do a little bouncing in a couple of the houses and she did two little crafts. Grammy helped her make a Santa with a cotton ball beard and daddy helped her make a reindeer using her hands and paint to make the antlers. Both are very cute and I am excited to have some original baby Christmas art to add to our holiday decoration surplus. In fact, I think I am going to frame the reindeer because it is so cute! Addison looked adorable in the outfit Grammy bought her - red velvet dress, black velvet jacket, cream tights and black velvet shoes. ADORABLE - so much so I could just eat her up. Totally over-dressed but gorgeous just the same. And of course, Santa arrived in the back seat of an F-15, which is always neat to see! We decided while we were there not to have her sit on Santa's lap. There were so many kids and they were calling up kids alphabetically by their last name. Had we waited, we would have been there until Christmas! So she didn't get to see Santa, but overall she had a great time. (No need to worry, we are taking her to see Santa when Uncle Jake and Aunt Brandi are here in a few weeks.)
