All week we have had the Christmas tunes cranked high and started watching Christmas movies. I have also been teaching Kylie about Santa Claus, and managed to plant the idea in her head that if she is good Santa will bring her a scooter. (Which she calls a 'mooter' for some reason) By the time our ward Christmas party rolled around on Friday, Kylie was well acquainted with the idea of Santa.
I wasn't expecting a Santa to be at the party (since I hadn't seen one at a party in years), but it was our lucky day when Santa showed up! Kylie was so excited and one of the first in line to see him. Hayden walked towards him saying "scary" the whole time, but when it was Kylie's turn he ran right up there with her and we got a picture together.
Afterwards I asked Kylie what she said to Santa and she told me that she said "Please". Haha well, I guess that is good!
The primary also sang some songs at the party. Hayden decided to join Kylie on stage and was super excited to be up there. Kylie was so excited to be on stage that she didn't end up singing at all but running around behind everyone in between the curtains. Yup. That sounds like my kid.
Saturday we had some fun out on the town and went to the Dickens Festival. It was my first time, and I was expecting something totally different. While there were characters walking around and all the booths were dressed up, essentially it was a vendor event. Lots of vendors. Lots of things to look at. Lots of things the kids should not be let loose in. So someone had to hold Hayden the entire time, and the other person had to keep track of Kylie and make sure that she didn't touch everything in reach.
We also did some Christmas shopping and went to see Brandon's new office space. Hayden also learned how to take a selfie:
Saturday night we gave Hayden a hair cut. I tried to keep it longer on top, but he did not want to sit still so it ended up pretty short again. Oh well, at least it grows fast!
