Smith Christmas, Daycare Party

My dad and Chris came to Minnesota this weekend to celebrate Christmas. We began the festivities by attending Lauryn and Miranda's dance recital. Kelsey did a great job sitting and watching the dancers. Seeing the littlest age group dance made me excited to get Kelsey into dance when she gets a little older. After the program, we went back to Brian and Molly's. We opened gifts, sang Christmas carols, ate dinner, and played games. It was a very full and fun day. Tonight we had our daycare Christmas party. Our daycare provider is wonderful and she has an annual get together each year with all her daycare kids and their families. Mary sets out crafts to do, hires a Santa, sang Christmas songs with the kids, gave them all a present and made us all supper. What a lady! We have been prepping Kelsey to see Santa by reading books about him and teaching her to say ho, ho, ho. However, despite our efforts, she was terrified of him and cried when she sat on his lap. For the rest of the night, if she got close to him, she clung on for dear life. I guess we will have to stick with books and pictures of Santa this year.




We have a 3 day week of school this week, followed by a week off for Christmas break. I am hoping the 3 days go quickly because I am definitely looking forward to time off with Matt and Kelsey!
