IFBCDC Christmas Program 2009...

Storytime with Santa

This was our second annual Storytime with Santa.  Oh, what a difference one year brings with it.  Ella FINALLY sat in Santa's lap and didn't cry the entire time.  She was very nervous... nervous being with both hands in her mouth and a small whine sneaking out between the fingers.  A few tears were shed... that is until Santa magical voice soothed her.  After a few short moments with the guy in the red suit, Carson and Ella both chose a book and it was off to milk and cookies.  Carson and Ella both colored pictures while enjoying their milk and cookies.  We then concluded our night with listening to a few stories in our media center.  Of course, no night could be complete with a newly potty trained little girl, without a visit to a NEW bathroom! 

Just for Fun!

Halloween Hoopla 2009... Complete with HOOPLA Hissy Fits!

This was the second year in a row we joined Kristy and Brianna for Halloween Hoopla. We were having a great time until some teenager knocked Ella flat on her face. After that... it was ALL over. Ella was super duper crabby! I think by the end she pitched the BIGGEST fit ever! It took Kristy and I FOREVER to get her in her car seat! Two year olds sure can be STRONG! I am super glad we got some cute photos before the Hoopla meltdown!
