Christmas Fun

Saturday was a great day of Christmas festivities! Every year the real Santa Claus flies in on a helicopter to see the kids at Idle Hour. It is a lot of fun. We got there at 10:00 and didn't leave until 2:00! We watched him land, played football on the golf course, did arts and crafts, ate lunch, saw a puppet show and of course saw Santa!





The puppet show is always one of Cooper's favorite parts of the day. This year they asked for volunteers from the audience - guess who volunteered? Surprise, my little wall-flower, Cooper! Bebe Bear jumped over Cooper and 2 other kids on roller skates. It was quite a feat.







Cooper and his friend, Bebe Bear!



The last thing we did was sit on Santa's lap, tell him what we wanted for Christmas, and have our picture taken. At this point we had been at the club for almost 4 hours. Libby had had enough. She fell asleep sitting up in my arms in line. I got a little worried that she might get upset with Santa but she opened her eyes, smiled for the camera and went back to sleep! What a sweetie!
