Pizza With Santa

In what has become a favorite holiday tradition, tonight we attended Pizza With Santa at Noah's Ark preschool.  The evening consists of a pizza dinner w/ your family, games, crafts, a sing-along, a story and, of course, a visit from the big guy himself.

It's so much fun to watch the faces of the children as Santa arrives. 
I'm sure sad to realize that since this is our final year with kids attending Noah's Ark, this will probably be our last Pizza With Santa night.  A tradition comes to an end.

We also had a chance during the month to do some other traditional things that I didn't get photos of ...
attending the Festival of Lights in East Peoria and seeing the incredible light display in a nearby neighborhood in Normal.  It's so much fun to create new traditions in each new place that we live!
