John Parker had his picture made with Santa at the neighborhood Christmas party. It makes me sad that he's almost too big to fit in his lap!! Avery wouldn't get near him--but she would at least allow him to be in the same room, which was a big improvement over last year! John Bret and I had a great time at the Starry Night Gala Saturday night. It was a great event for St. Anthony!
Well....John Parker begged to go out this morning and build a snowman. I knew there wasn't enough snow so we settled for a snow head. He was just as happy! Avery didn't really want to stand next to it. She kept calling it Snow Beast (from Scooby Doo). I'm sure he'll be gone by later today.....
John Parker shot his first deer this weekend. He was so excited. The best part was the video that John Bret made. He kept asking "did he get it" and "let's go look for blood"....So funny. He is Star of the Week this week at school and can't wait to take his photos and show his classmates. We were picking out photos for his "star poster" and he would tell me which ones he didn't want. He said "Mama, those baby pictures just WON'T work"....Made me sad to see how grown-up he is......But, he'll always be my little boy...
These are the turkey cupcakes for the kids to take to school. They turned out cuter than I expected....There were even a few left over that John Parker got to decorate any way he wanted. He loves being creative!
John Parker decided tonight that he would write a letter to Santa, so that he could come tonight and get it. He also drew 2 pictures to give him and left a few "Christmas" goodies for him. Then he told me that he thinks that Santa will leave him a little something in the morning. I told him that Santa only leaves toys on Christmas Eve and he said, "Mama, you never know--we'll just have to wait and see!"
