Stratton meets Santa!

 We went to a "Cookies with Santa"  pajama party Saturday night at Eric and Kelly's house.  The kids (and adults, too) all seemed to have had a great time. Stratton was mesmerized by all the kids running around, and there were lots of  kiddos to watch!  He didn't mind being held by Santa, at all. Of course that isn't really surprising, he is so laid back.  We left the party around 6:30, he was getting really sleepy and I wanted to avoid the "I'm tired, please lay me down" fit. I wish we could have stayed longer! Everything was so nice, they did a great job decorating and there were tons of yummy cookies! Too bad Stratton didn't get to try any! Maybe next year!

[ Invitations & matching favor bags with cookies and magic reindeer food, I put together. I was happy with the way they turned out, I think they were pretty cute.]

[When he got there, Santa walked around and passed out candy before he sat down so the kids could sit on his lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas]
