Taking the Scenic Route

They had a party for the kids. Crafts, games, cookie decorating, Santa, and meeting up with friends, both other families we know and therapists that have become friends over the years. It was fun.

Zane was super excited to meet Santa and headed right to him as soon as we got there. He told us before he got there that he was going to ask Santa for “a box of play-doh and a wii”. He said it very quietly to Santa, so we are glad we asked him before what he wanted. lol.

Santa gave him a sticky ball and told him to throw it against a wall, so the first thing he did was go around searching for a wall to throw it against.

Eventually, Santa threw it up to the ceiling for him and he waited for it to come back down, giggling as it slowly slimed down the wall and then released.

Unlike Zane, Zora was a bit wary of Santa and wanted to do stuff first, but kept glancing over to Santa as the evening progressed.

She was still a little shy, but eventually wanted to talk to Santa.

Then we were goaded into a photo. *snort*

Zane found a ceiling he could get the ball onto and Zora was able to decorate a whole second cookie while we waited for it to come back down before we could leave.
