Merry Busy Saturday

We had a busy Saturday upon us full of Christmas activities.

First up was the Ward Christmas Breakfast with lots of yummy food to eat and neighbors to share it with.  Luckily there was enough food but not enough chairs.   After all the tummys had been filled up it was time to sing.  

First up the teenagers singing Silent Night.

Second the kids singing Away In A  Manager
We were few in numbers and a little quiet from stage fear.
Even without the stage.

We made a quick get away to the Dickens Festival and this year hopefully get to see Father Christmas.  It was 10:20 as we walked through the doors and were greeted with a long line waiting to get in.

Dave took off to find the next line to wait in and I herded the kids through the booths & people maze.

Reganne found this cool stocking cap
it was way to long for her.

We were number 597 at 10:45 and Ryder's basketball game started at 12:00 would we have enough time to wait?  Nope, I begged Mrs. Clause to let us get back into line after lunch and with a little persuasion she agreed and we ran across town to his game.

Time to get back into line and the number now serving was 645.  The quickly fit us back in and the kids were able to give their Christmas Wish to the main man.  One wish he ask Dave & I to come up and said he could bring only part of it.  Mom & Dad would have to work on the rest and chores may become necessary to help.

Such smiley kids

A little shopping was in order along with hanging with friends found in all the crowds.  It was finally time for a late lunch at Chuck A Rama were everyone could find their own favorites and not argue.

One crazy Christmas Saturday down.  How many more and will we survive?
