Saturday was our Branch Christmas Party. We had about 65 people there. I know not many people have seen our little chapel here in Virginia, but the best way to describe it's size is just a little larger than the average chapel's primary room. So, just imagine tables and seating for the 65 people that came. It was pretty cramped....but exciting to see the turn out. We had a nice little program and lots of yummy food followed by a visit from Santa. Sydney was giving me a hard time about sitting on Santa's lap. We were in line and as we got closer to the front she started freaking out more and more. Finally it was her turn and right as she was about to cry and run away she heard Santa say "Hello Sydney!". She gave him a strange look and then smiled and climbed right up on his lap. The next day when we got to church she ran up to our Branch President and say "Hey! Why did you pretend to be Santa last night?!"
Jackson only went close enough to get his candy from Santa. At least there were no tears this year.
Sydney with her goods.
It was a nice evening.

wow 65 people in that little building. holy cow! what a turn out. like you said, very nice and exciting to have that many people attend, but i can only imagine how cramped that would be. you must have had people in the primary room, relief society room, young women room, even perhaps the nursery room and library! haha.
That's great Sydney recognized him! I was sure Noah would be great on Santa's lap at our ward party since he's so good with strangers, but nope, Santa is creepy! Unfortunately he didn't notice the person he kept smiling at church was the man behind the beard the day before :)
