More Saturday fun...

So the Santa picture yesterday was just part of the fun on Saturday.  We had a whole morning of activities sponsored by the NATO community.  We had the Santa breakfast, candy was given out by Zwarte Piet (click the link to read more about the Dutch Sinterklaas tradition) at the B&S Store and then a craft fair at the international school.

Here are a couple more pictures from the Santa breakfast.  Isaac was loving the tree... as a matter of fact he just exclaimed to me a few moments ago while he was studying the Christmas tree at our house "Mommy, the tree is SO cute!" ...now he is currently re-arranging the ornaments as I type this. :)

Here was another attempt at a family pic.

Our sweet Isabella once again pulled out the "shy card" for the 1st half of this event and did a "pretend sleep"....I guess her theory is if she can't see them, they can't see her.  She was never out of my lap for long but did enjoy a little candy near the end.  

Here is Ava at the B&S Store with her treat from Zwarte Piet.

Isabella and I had already headed over the international school for the craft fair so Ava had an extra treat for Isabella.

Here are the kiddos at the craft fair.  Isabella & Isaac wanted nothing to do with the face painting but Ava was all about it.
Ava wanted a  puppy on her face an she was so excited about it!

Isabella was all about the sweets...do we see a trend here??
(Yes, they both have child harnesses...some people don't like these but I really don't like losing 2 year old twins either...the good outweighs the bad in this case) Oh, and Isabella loves wearing Isaac's jacket! :)



We ended the morning at the Christmas tree lot getting our tree.  I love me a real tree (you know it Mom!).
More to come...

Great pics!!
I love live trees in my home.
I know that many friends don't have the time or inclination except for easy to access trees. It's fine.
I got my permit yesterday to chop down our Christmas tree again as in Jackson. It's not a holiday tree but a CHRISTMAS TREE.
Tomorrow is the day to do this...so, out into the National forest we go.
All our Christmas decorations are in storage so it was off to the 99 cent Store for $35 of all kinds of things for this year. They'll get donated after our home is finished. Have fun, kiddos with decorating and celebrating Christmas with a Christmas tree. You are cuties!! Love, Grandma June
