Today we went to the annual Sonoco Children's Christmas Party. It's really a great thing my Mom's work does for the employees. It had a Candyland theme this year since apparently Candyland is celebrating their 40th anniversary. They had a whole assortment of jars of candy to guess the amounts in. Clara won one of these by legitemently guessing 15 liquorace strings. Hazel won three since mommy was on a roll of lucky guesses ;) In addition to a visit from Santa they had Candyland set up to play, lots of food and a magician making balloon animals. Clara got a yellow parrot from the magician and Hazel got a crazy hat with a smiley face. Hazel loves her hat and Clara . . .
loves the candy canes. After everyone was all sugared up, Santa came. Clara made a card to give to Santa. She was so excited to see him and told me over and over again for days she was going to tell him what she wanted for Christmas, a Cow Farm. See earlier post for more on the cow farm. When it came time to actually see Santa, Clara was somewhat unsure of him. She did not want to sit on his lap and did not want to even get close enough for a picture. She did tell him that she wanted the Cow Farm after me prompting her not to moan weird sounds at him and speak. Hazel did not scream but was holding her arms out for me the whole time. Not exactly the best pictures with Santa. Each of the girls got a very nice present from Santa. Clara got a LeapFrog Alphabet tablet and Hazel got a roll along pony with a basket to put her baby in. They both love their gifts. Thanks again Sonoco for a wonderful party and a chance to meet Santa.
