Tis the Season

So we went to the Christmas party at church and I had told Melia that Santa would be there. At first she said she wanted to dance with him, but I told her that probably wouldn't happen. She decided sitting in his lap would be good enough. She was so excited and kept talking about it all the way there. At the end of the program, Santa comes out and before they have even announced that the kids can come up on stage to see him, Melia has taken off running and makes it up there into his lap before the announcement is done! She was so cute. She talked about seeing Santa and the little bag of goodies he gave her for days afterward.
It snowed for the first time here this winter. It started while we were at church and Bo was so excited that he ran and got Melia out of the nursery to go see it. When we got home, he gave her a big snow ball to suck on.
She loved it so much that she decided to have it for dinner...and that's all she ate. About an hour later, she was at the refrigerator asking for food to eat. First lesson with snow--fun to eat, but not as satisfying as one would hope.
