A couple of weeks ago we went to a charity fundraiser that was called “High Tea with Santa and Mrs. Claus” It was the most adorable thing and they had Colonial Country Club decorated with all sorts of Christmas Trees. For the children they had a buffet table that was their size with snacks and fruit. They also had hot cocoa and spiced cider. There were truffles at every seat in addition to coloring pages for the kids while the Grinch Who Stole Christmas was in the background.
They had a whole bunch of activities set up, but the first thing Nadia wanted to do was meet Santa and Mrs. Claus. The people who were playing the parts were perfect! They were totally in character and did such a good job with the kids. Nadia knows that Santa is just a storybook character so she gave him a funny look when he asked what she wanted him to bring her for Christmas. She did end up telling them “I just want my sister.” Which led them to ask me questions and I told them that we were going to adopt a little girl from China soon. Mrs. Claus gave Nadia a lollipop and they posed for a photo and she was good to go.
Then Nadia made Reindeer food to sprinkle on the lawn so they have something to eat on Christmas Eve. Nadia really enjoyed this and we already sprinkled it on the lawn. She wants us to make another batch with more glitter to put out on Christmas eve in case the birds eat what is out there already 🙂
Grammie came with us and said that she enjoyed every minute of the event.
Emily brought her boys and they were so cute running around.
They also had a Flip Book station set up. Nadia did not want to do one with me until she saw me do one with my “mommy friends”. They both turned out really cute and it’s such a fun thing to do. Kerrie and her daughter made a book and I snapped a photo while they were being filmed.
