Christmas Kids

SNOW!!!

And that's not even all that we have. This was the first BIG snow storm. Now our piles are over 12 feet tall where the snow plow has been piling it up.

Racing to See Santa

At the annual Trout Lake School Christmas program the elementary school kids sang "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and wha-la guess who showed up right then? Santa. The MC for the evening then announced that the littlest people get to go first and that Santa's helper's would have a present for all the kids who came to see Santa. So Alysha promptly gets up from her seat with us on the bleachers (the farthest ones from the spot Santa was going to be greeting kids) before the announcer is even finished with his instructions and RACES down the bleachers and across the entire length of the gym, in front of the entire town of Trout Lake + grandparents etc... and gets to Santa before he has even sat down to begin. She heard "littlest people get to go first" and "presents" and she was GONE!!!
