A Bumblebee and Birthday Hat

 

Yesterday morning we went to a Breakfast with Santa event at the country club here in our neighborhood. Since we aren’t members we were invited by our neighbors, which was very nice. It was a lot of fun. It was also very nice to not wait in long lines. I have been prepping Claire for her big Santa moment by asking her what she wants for Christmas, her response, “A bumblebee and birthday hat!”. I have no idea where the bumblebee came from, it might be from seeing bumblebees at Halloween.  She has been wanting a birthday hat for awhile, ever since we started going to her classmates’ birthday parties. I can’t complain, those are some pretty simple wishes. The big moment came with Santa and she did what most other kids do and clung on to Paul for her dear life. She was not into sitting on his lap.

We convinced Claire to tell Santa what she wanted and she did still cling to Paul, he might even have some bruises from that grip she had!

We don’t go out to each much so I was impressed with how long the kids stayed at our table. Santa was right behind us and Claire kept turning around and waving to him throughout the meal. Maybe next year we can convince her to sit on his lap.

Poor Claire then decided to get an ear infection last night and while waiting in urgent care, vomit all over the waiting room and then my car on the way home. Thankfully she slept last night and is feeling better this morning.  Poor little girl, it’s a pajama day for her!
