We've been busy at church with fun christmas-time activities. This past weekend Matt & I were "Mary & Joseph at the Inn" in the Live Nativity. We had a great time as always, and Eli hated the experience as usual :)
Here we are before going out for our 'shift'.
And this is what we found when we came back after an hour. (Keep in mind that when we left Eli, he was upstairs in the nursery with all the other kids.) He definitely enjoys Mickie's company and eating ice more than a nursery filled with noisy kids. Thanks Mickie!
This was tonight's church adventure -it's always fun with a kid who hates strangers with a passion. Eli's lip was quivering before we ever even got up with santa......so we got a 'family' picture first. I believe Eli is trying to move his shoulder so it's nowhere near santa.
And then of course we forced him to get his own picture with the Jolly Old Guy. Needless to say, the ENTIRE gym knew how Eli felt about his situation. 
I believe at this point he was flailing his arms and screaming about as loud as he possibly could while staring at his daddy. When it was over I told Eli he didn't have to see santa again until next year. ;-)
Merry Christmas everyone!
HE IS SOOO CUTE! I love the scared-of-santa photo. Where he's flailing his arms. That's my favorite. It should be framed. Miss you guys. And we can't wait to meet the new cousin!
ReplyDeleteOH my goodness...THAT IS AWESOME!!! I'm sure Aaron will be upset with Santa too...we have yet to take on that challenge this year. Your Christmas party looked fun! Glad you all enjoyed your night - minus the Eli/Santa saga. Tell Yi Yi that Aaron loves him...oh yea and that new little baby too!!!
