Santa Claus is coming to town...

Today was the annual Santa Claus days in Russell. I unfortunately was unable to be there with Briella and Brezlyn as Makenzie had her first bball tourney in Dell Rapids and Brock had to work. My sister in law Maria, brought them with her kids. Her youngest, Olivia, is Brezlyn's age. They had such a blast. Briella and Brezlyn both purchased gift for grandparents,parents and sisters with some money we gave them. The community donates little trinkets and knick knacks for gifts and also their is a drawing for door prizes. The community dontates toys for the door prizes. Briella got some littlest pet shop dogs and Brezlyn got a craft coloring box. It's become a tradition that we take them there as they also get to see Santa and this year Mrs. Claus. If they question the authenticity we usually get away with saying it's one of Santa's helpers since he's so busy this time of year and they are ok with that. I'm not looking forward to the day when all my girls don't believe(Santa) anymore as it is such a wonderful moment to see them still so innocent and have so much belief in others. Brezlyn didn't want to sit by Mr. and Mrs. Claus so she stood. Briella had no problems and told them exactly what she wanted for christmas. Wish Brock and I both could have been there, but pleased it all worked out for everyone!
