Preschool Christmas Party

With only four days after the Wolfley Family Party until we returned to Utah for more holiday fun, we still had to squeeze in the holiday parties for the kids at school. Brielle's party kicked off with a bang when she finally got to wear the hand print antlers that she's been dying to show me for days!I then had the pleasure of hearing her sing "Rudolph" and several other Christmas carols with her friends -- don't you think the red nose just makes it perfect? She did.
The highlight of the day was waiting for St Nick to show up. Now, Brielle has not always been a fan of the big guy in red. In fact, she has repeatedly refused to even look in his direction whenever he's near, but this year she assured me things would be different. She even practiced telling him that she wanted a "pink La la loopsy" doll for Christmas, over and over in the car on the way there. When her teachers announced that he was on his way, Brielle was the first kid over so that she'd be able to sit close to him. Thrilled, I stepped back and waited to snap that perfect picture when Santa walked into the room....
... this is what I got!
She practically flattened the little girl next to her in her frantic efforts to get as far away from him as possible. She wouldn't even take her candy cane. She did, however, calm down enough to demand the opportunity to give him the picture she'd colored for him!
