Nonna's Christmas Party

Our last day of Footprints before Christmas was on Thursday, and then the next day on Friday we headed over to Nonna's for her annual Christmas party.  It is seriously one of my favorite events of the year!  The kids have so much fun and I love hanging out with my friends whose kiddos go to Nonnas.  (And there is always a ton of delicious food!)

First up every year...the FREEZE DANCE!

Emory was just watching all the big girls...

Then we headed into Nonna's kitchen for all the yummy food...a bunch of the kiddos headed straight for their table...

While we were waiting for Santa to arrive, we did the freeze dance again.  It's just this random song (not a Christmas song or anything, but just a tradition).

Emory was busting some moves...

with some help from big sis...

Then we heard bells and SANTA ARRIVED!

He called Brynn very first, so she headed up to sit on his lap and tell him what she wanted.

Nonna has a TON of Christmas decorations, and literally hundreds of Santa figurines.  Emory's favorite word all December was "Tan-ta" ANYTIME we saw a picture of Santa ANYWHERE!  When he walked in she was all "tan-ta!  tan-ta!" But when it was time for her to sit with him.....

I had a feeling this was how she was going to feel about him this year.  We all laughed so hard, and poor Santa, he kept trying and trying to get her to sit on his lap...to no avail!

Thanks to my friend Lindsay for capturing our attempts.  =)

 
Sorry Santa...it ain't happening this year!

All Nonna's kiddos (and some siblings)

THANK YOU NONNA for such an awesome party!
