Cookies with Santa
It’s that time a year again! Last year we hired a Professional Santa and his wife for the event, additionally we pitched in and designed a Christmas Stage for fun and exciting pictures with Santa (for the kids anyway). Mrs. Claus accompanied Santa reading the Christmas story to children, while other children visited with Santa. Let’s get in the holiday spirit once again!

Friends like Nikki brought inside and outside decorations. A friend allowed me to use 20 red bows (but they won’t be available this year). Holly Jackson let me borrow about 50 Christmas flowers that we used on the Christmas tree. I will ask her if we can use her Christmas flowers
