Yesterday was Katie's school Xmas party. Yesterday was the last day of school until January 4 (its a thursday..go figure that out). They had all sorts of activities for them to do. Katherine started off by making a christmas card to GC..she wrote in it I love you and wants to give it to him in person when he comes next weekend. It was very cute and special. Next she mad a xmas box, a rudolph bracelet, decorated two cookies, made a xmas pinwheel, and did the ring and snowball toss. There were lots of food (cookies, chips, ding dongs, etc). I'm very proud of myself and Katie..we each had a mini cupcake, a tiny star cookie, and I had a sugar cookie. We split a cup of Sprite. Not too bad. They had a Santa and Katie just wanted to get a candy cane; she said she already sent Santa a letter and didn't need to tell him what she wanted. By 8.00 she was pretty tired but had a lot of fun. She was a little upset that Micau and the babies couldn't come (Kyle has pink eye). We got home and she showed Micau the card and all the other stuff she made. She went to bed I'm sure dreaming of Christmas.
Today Katie wanted to take her picture with Santa Clause but she didn't want to do it without Micau. So we all go to the mall and by the time we get there its close to 6, which works out because the mall Santa got back from his break at 6. We stand in line for about 20 minutes (last year it was much longer). We get up there and get Kyle out and he won't go near Santa. We get within a foot of him and he starts crying and screaming..no no. So we didn't force him. Katherine sat on his lap and told him what she wanted (she added to her list by wishing for an IPOD; something she didn't want up until two days ago); Lauren sat with Santa and we got a picture of the two of them. Lauren has her mouth in an O shape and Katie has a big grin. If we had a scanner I'd scan it in so you all could see it. It was nice. Poor Kyle got left out...Oh well maybe next year.

That is so cool all that the school had Katie do. Definately great to put children in the Christmas spirit!
I think it will be so nice for your stepson to get that card. I am sure he will be so happy and really feel like part of the family.
As for Santa..sorry about Kyle..I am curious to see how Tripp does this year. He has been fine for the past 2 so we will see.
An ipod huh? Guess someone has to do somemore shopping!!!! LOL!!
That sounds like a fun time in school. Seems like she gets a lot of time off though. Here they don't get out till the 22nd and go back on the 2nd of Jan. Guess they don't want to let the school get cold or something. LOL!
