Tonight I took Avery to a “Cheers for Children” event put on by Food Share. Admission was 5 cans of food.  I let her pick out the cans at the grocery store before we went.

We got there right when it started and there was a band playing, which was way too loud for her, so she didn’t enjoy the first 10 minutes.

We made hot chocolate (with marshmallows), had a few cookies, then Santa arrived! She was really looking forward to talking to Santa. She was first in line, but a girl cut in front of her, she was so upset, but she sucked it up and waited.

After talking to Santa, we had one more cookie, Avery danced on the dance floor for a few minutes and it was time to go home. It is a school night…
