Breakfast with Santa

We had breakfast with Santa and our friends this morning!

The girls had fun getting their faces painted, making a Christmas 

craft and meeting Santa. It was at Magnificat High School so we

also got to see Kiera's (possible) future high school. 

Santa

Kiera got herself all dressed up as Santa...she put on a red shirt and pants, a black scarf for a belt, a santa hat, cut a beard from a white piece of paper and made a red nose. She then wrote her letter to Santa which she spelled all by herself!

Letter from Santa

Kiera received a letter in the mail all the way from North Pole, Alaska from SANTA! She was so excited. The letter mentioned her being 3 years old, Bay Village, her chore of emptying the trash cans and her cousin Baleigh. After I read each of those words, she would repeat the word with the cutest, happiest, excited voice; it was the best! Special thanks to Papa who, through a work fundraiser, coordinated Kiera's letter. 

She also got a card from Grandpa in the mail today. 

Santa and School

My school hosted a Math and Science Night for students and their families. In addition to the learning stations, Santa and Santa's Shoppe were there. Kiera had the privilege of being the first to sit on Santa's lap, which may have had something to do with the fact that I was the one taking the Santa pictures! Kiera told Santa she wanted a book and a (real) turtle. Also note Kiera's cute new reindeer shirt from my friend Ali!
