Carolina and I went to have tea with Mrs. Claus. We had a wonderful time, even though I brought great shame to my mother by having Carolina be the ONLY girl not dressed up in her Christmas dress. It never even dawned on me to dress up for a tea party. Even the moms were dressed up and I was in jeans. Regardless we had fun, and we'll know better next year.

Mrs. Claus read them several of her favorite books and chatted with them for a while.

After the books the girls (and a few boys, yes, also dressed up) came and sat with their moms while we had hot cocoa and a plate of cookies.

Careful drinking of the hot cocoa. She feels very grown up.

She even had a cute Christmas dress she could have worn.

Just a cute picture of Cash and his cousin Grant from Thanksgiving Day. Cash is adorable even though he is in a terrible hitting phase (sorry, Levi).
