This years ward Christmas party was a little different then what I was use to. Instead of starting around 6 we started around 6:40 and had our program first. We sang several songs as a congregation and then opened up a display where they had set a scene of scriptural time and the nativity. It was super cute to see the Jolley family as Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus and the wise men. Brother Jolly sang "Mary did you Know" and it set such a wonderful spirit.
They announced that Santa was on his way and Brielle was ecstatic.
However that quickly turned when she saw him and refused to take a picture with him. Miles was more than willing to take a picture with him until it was his turn to sit on his lap. We decided to take a family picture and call it a night.
As we were leaving the party Brielle informed us that she was so sad because it really wasn't Santa. She was so confused why the real Santa didn't come. I told her Santa couldn't be everywhere at the same time so he ask people to help him. She seemed satisfied with that answer but still wasn't happy it wasn't the real Santa.
