I guess we officially got our Bunzel Christmas started by baking Cookies for Santa!! this year we went all out and made homemade Sugar cookies from scratch! This was an All Day Process ! !
The cookies turned out Amazing and we had so much fun making them! I am Positive that Santa was very impressed and enjoyed eating the cookies!

On Christmas Eve We always have Papa Rick's Family over to celebrate the Holidays. this year was yet again another fun time full of Great Food, White Elephant Game, and Some good ole Family time!
Mimi and Pap with the the Grandkids! All of the kids had a fun too, making palettes and playing with Drakes helicopter! Mimi and Papa stayed the night with us so we could spend Christmas morning together.
After the Christmas Eve Party was over it was time to get the Cookies all ready for Santa!
It doesn't seem to matter how tired I am on Christmas Morning I can't help but get up super early! It is just the excitement of Christmas and being able to share it with you, Caroline! Luckily this year you woke up fairly early on your own! Daddy Eric and I mentioned Santa to you and you were ready to see if he left any surprised for you ! Santa Did leave you some presents!
I few things you had asked him for, A shiny ring, some cookies, and more rubber ducks ! he also brought you a new baby doll and a bunch of baby doll stuff for Baby Chiles and the New baby you called Baby Kelsie. We had a great Christmas morning, spending time together, opening gifts, playing with toys, and celebrating the spirit of Christmas! for lunch we went over to Mimi Papa's house and had a wonderful Christmas lunch and spent some time out there.
Then that Afternoon it was time to head over to Gigi and Pops to spend the rest of Christmas Day! We visited for a bit and then it was time for gifts! Caroline, your big gift was an Art Easel!

A Christmas Dance Performance to Remember!

December 14, 2012

Caroline,


This evening was your very first stage dance performance! It was the Lifesong Dance Studio Christmas performance and the entire show was very good! I really had no idea what we were in for! Lifesong
stressed that this was NOT a recital and everyone performing wore the same Christmas T-shirt with some sort of tutu and tights. Lifesong did not want to take anything away from the Big Spring Recital but wanted to do something special for the Christmas Season.

The Christmas performance was at the King Opera house which was great. It is such a rich history and was the perfect place for a Christmas Dance Show! it was a packed house!!! Lifesong actually split up all of the classes and had one show at 5:45 and another beginning at 7:30 to hopefully accommodate everyone. It was insane how many people were there!! Mimi, Papa, Gigi, Pops, and EE all came to see your performance too!

Your class was the fourth class to Come on stage. And I believe it was combined with another class as well. You all came out and you stood off by yourself which was great because we had an excellent view of you! You did your entire dance and it was seriously adorable! Talked about having one proud Momma Katie and Daddy, you were a perfect little Dancer! Then at the end of the dance you blew a kiss to the audience! You were quite the little adorable entertainer!! We watched the rest of the show and after we waited in the lobby for you and then we had cookies and punch before we all headed over to Gigi and Pops for the Dance party Dinner! We had a wonderful evening all together! We are very lucky to have the amazing family we do! I am so Thankful for the times we are all together celebrating you and your accomplishments!

I love you!
Momma Katie

Annual Children's Santa Party

December 11,2012

Caroline,



Today was the Annual children's Christmas party at Pops bank. You have been talking about going and having cookies and seeing Santa for weeks now!

We hurried around and got ready and then we ended up being a tad late because you needed to have a fit before we left the house. Once we got to the bank we hurried inside. We had cookies and punch and visited with everyone while we waited for Santa to call your name. Once he did you got up I'm his lap talked with him for a little while and he helped you unwrap your gift. You were so sad After you got off of Santa's lap and brought your gift to show us. You sadly said, I did not ask Santa to bring me a Repunzel doll and ask him for a shiny heart ring. ". After we explained that Santa was still going to stop by our house on Christmas Eve and leave you a gift possibly the shiny ring everything was good again. You were happy that Santa Thought to bring you a RepunZel doll after all.

We all had a great time at our fourth annual children's Santa party!!

I love you,
Momma Katie
