So I took her to the back room where they were getting ready, sat down to visit with Vince & Faith and the next thing I know she comes running out crying very hard...she said she got scared. Not sure what it was all about, but we did get her settled down and Linda was able to take her and get her ready.

She was a cute little shepherd, looked cute in the reindeer cap and red nose, did a good job on the 12 days of Christmas...she had the " 4 calling birds",we all sang "Jingle Bells" and " We Wish You a Merry Christmas"
and they added a little jig to that last song.

They had a Pinata.....not like the one we grew up with where you hit it with a bat and Sheleen got a good hit on the head from that. It was where they pulled the string. So they all got some candy, stickers, and Miss Joanie came to do some fun entertainment for them....face painting, balloon shaping, some tricks, puppet shows and then we mingled with other parents getting to know them better.

It sounds like a lot, but we were only there from 2:30 until 4:30 and we helped clean up so that Linda, Harold & Shawna didn't have to get stuck with it all by themselves.

Maria is proud of that fact to. I think it helps when everyone tells her how special she is to have two of each. I believe when she first started at Linda's that she told everyone..."I have two dads!" One of the children no you don't and Linda had to explain that "yes she does."
