A big day....and photo a day #10
Wow! We had a huge day today. Snack with Santa at the zoo was this morning with all the cousins and grammy and papa! Hard to believe a year went by. I was just scrapping last year's!
So- we were taking bets on if Maya would sit on Santa's lap....I lost. She did it and I was the one that cried. She was so grown up as she walked right up to him all by herself. Here is the sequence of events...
Making her way up to the big red chair...
A glance at the family papperatzi wildly snapping photos with about 6 cameras, a video camera and the zoo photographer looking at all of us like we're crazy! Look at her hands together. I can just tell she was so nervous, but wanted to be all grown up.
Santa- "What would you like for Christmas?"
Maya - "prensents"
Santa-"What kind of presents?"
Maya- "prensents"
That's it just prensents. Nothing specific- I think that can be handled. No- no coaching from mommy and daddy for the last month on what Santa does on Christmas Eve in order to make him sound like a very loved man by all the children of the world and not a big scary bearded guy in an oversized red jumpsuit with big black boots. Santa brings presents is what we have been saying. So that's what she said.....tee hee hee
Then it was off to the mall for my dance studio's holiday performance. Our 4 performance teams graced center court with tap, jazz, hip hop and ballet. They were incredible and I was so proud of them. It's amazing to see a student you taught at age 3 grow up to be on a performance team at age 9 and just shine!!! Of course I had to get some shopping done while I was out and about alone. I just can't seem to stay away from this store. UGH! Why does little girly stuff have to be so darn cute! Ben had a dress rehearsal for our church play at the same time, so it was off to Grammy's for Mayabee. Her and I had Chinese out for supper after my performances and brought Daddy some leftovers. With all our December activites, our fridge has looked kinda bare lately. So- off to the grocery store! Poor Maya zonked in the car on the way home. I am looking forward to a nice vacation coming up.
So- the actual photo of the day is this..a tiny little hand with Rudolf so skillfully painted on it. Within about 30 seconds poor Rudolf was a big brown smudge, but he started off beautiful!
I think some scrappin is in order this evening to wind down. Hot chocolate with some newly bought rediwhip!

she's so pretty!
i love her dress :)
how incredibly, wonderfully sweet :)
She looks absolutely precious, Missy! I was craving some cocoa tonight, too. But I think it will keep me up too late now. Hope your scrapping time was productive :)
she looks like she probably could have cried, but was trying very hard not to. i don't think i've ever had a picture taken with santa if you can believe it! i don't know if mom never had us take them and never kept them or if i was too scared to do it.
How sweet! She is so pretty!! She looks like she is saying 'I guess this is something I must do for the good of the family' Very grown up...he,he.
What a busy day! She is so sweet. I love all the photos you took today :)
I am cracking up at the family paprazzi thing - yes we kind of take over with the cameras and electronics. We went to my sisters xmas party saturday night and telling them about our morning- and they were like -was anyone else allowed because you marquettes are a small village yourself!
Maya looks a little nervous but she did it! So proud!
Scrapping and hot cocoa with redi whip- i am jealous :)
