Earlier this week I took Penelope to Color Me Mine for a special Santa visit. Penelope had a wonderful time. Here she is waiting for the big man himself to appear. She had her Christmas letter and list all ready as she anxiously listened to the sleigh bells getting closer and closer....

Then each child got to visit with Santa and tell him what was on their Christmas list this year. Penelope asked Santa for a bike, a microphone, bubbles, balloons, and a ball...


It was time for Santa to pay some more children a visit elsewhere but he made sure to wish them all a Merry Christmas and give them a candy cane before he left. Then it was time to paint a Christmas ornament....


And finally the best for last Christmas cookies!


Penelope has been counting the days till he returns with chocolates, stories, and movies.
