Company Christmas Party

The company Terry now works for has a Christmas party for the children and grandchildren of it's employees. I am sure everyone would agree that very few companies these days do anything for their employees , so I am quite impressed with their generosity, and the fact that the whole party centered around the kids. First we were fed a meal. After we ate, they brought in a man and his daughter to perform a wonderful puppet show, then games and gifts. We had a nice time.

You can't see it very well, but this is a puppet wearing a sombrero singing the song, "The Hat I Got for Christmas is Too Big." It is a very funny song!! Colby didn't stop laughing the whole way through!!

Frosty the Snowman and puppets who were imitating Alvin and the Chipmunks. They are of course singing "Frosty the Snowman."

They had a game of Santa Bingo. Dalayna won one round. She received a $1.00 gift certificate to McDonald's. With a Dollar Menu, she can choose from several items. We were hoping Colby would win a round too!!

Santa even made an appearance at the party today. What would a Christmas party be without a visit from Santa?

This is Colby's first and last time to go up on stage and accept a gift from Santa. He and all the other bigger kids were very good natured about sitting on Santa's lap. The rule at Terry's company is you have to be 12 and younger. Colby's gift was a basketball. This is the very same Santa who was at the zoo last Sunday. Apparently, he is a busy man around this area.

Dalayna had her turn with Santa Claus, but insisted I go up on the stage with her.She latched on to my arm and wouldn't let go. She said next year she might have "stage fright" again, even though she will be six. If that is the case, I guess I will never be too big to talk to Santa!! She received a toy similar to the Little Pet Shop toys. She has played with it non-stop since we came home!!
