In a neighboring village called Kennebunkport, they have a giant Prelude to Christmas festival. It's claim to fame is being home to the Bush family. We went to the tree lighting this year, and although it was bitter cold, we had a great time. Riley's study partner Jenny came along. The entire town is decorated to the nines, they have roasting chestnuts and hot cocoa, local choirs singing carols, and quaint streets with boutiques and shops to peruse.
Once again, we attended the UNE Christmas party. The kids each took their turns on Santa's lap, which is always my favorite. Their personalities shine in that moment.
Hinder had his list ready. His #1 was a Zoomer Dino and his back up plan was a Grimlock from Transformers.
Miss Vyla! She was so sweet and content just to chat with this jolly guy. When she climbed off the stage and I asked her what she asked Santa for, she simply shrugged her shoulders and said, "I jist ast for a toy or somsing". And off she ran to the bouncy house. What a dolly!
And then their was Ledger....HA! Daddy to the rescue!
Back at home, we did our best to cultivate some holiday cheer. Having a real fireplace to hang our stocking was so fun! And of course, I did my share of baking (and eating).
As well as receiving :)
Can it be Christmas time again?!
