Christmas Playdate with Friends

Today, we had our annual Christmas playdate with our good friends. Olivia, Alex and Ms. Tara hosted this year. St. Nick made a special visit and even had an early gift for each of the kids. Caroline loved playing with Olivia's kitchen and especially loved the blender. Jack played dress up with the girls and found a new army set he loved. In fact, he added it to his Santa list. The kids did a book gift exchange. Caroline received a personalized princess book from Nicholas and Thomas. Jack received a personalized Justice League book from Olivia and Alex. Both kids love their new books!

I'm only telling this story for documentation for when Caroline has her own child one day! We had a fun time until Caroline had a complete meltdown over her shirt. As you can tell from the pictures, she was dressed in a beautiful dress that I did not want her to ruin while eating. Well the shirt I brought to put on her was not what she wanted to wear. So she threw a complete fit and we had to leave. She continued to cry in the car for at least 10 minutes. She kept telling me she didn't like her shirt. I can only imagine what it will be like in 10 years!


Caroline did not want to see Santa today. Notice Jack holding an army toy. This is what he added to his Santa list.
