We took our daughter to a Christmas Party they were having at a local library across town. I saw it being advertised when I took one of my clients to the library. I thought this would be a great idea and something fun for us to do as a family. Well, first....anything that is free.....should be accompanied by a CAUTION sign. All in all we had a fun time, but it wouldn't be worth posting if there was a little crazy mixed in with everything else! Well, we got to the library with plenty of time to spare. We waiting in line, talked ate snacks and then....Ladybug had to go to the restroom. My husband stayed in line while we rushed in and out of the restroom. Once we got out of the restroom the line had moved into the party room. We ran to catch up with my husband and there were these women that were determined to not let us by. I tried to explain to her that we were in the bathroom and my husband was waiting for us at the FRONT of the line. She told me, "You 'gon' have to wait like everyone else". Um....not today, boo. I let my daughter off my hip....called to my husband and sent her to the front of the line. Then...I politely said "excuse me" and walked by. I have no time for silliness! It's Christmas, guys!! Well, Ladybug got the gift she wanted, worked on a craft and ate a cupcake that she described as "yucky". Then we left the area and got in line to wait on Santa. There was a woman sitting in a chair in the lobby that appear very upset that she was not allowed to get a gift and eat with the rest of the children. Hmm....maybe she didn't get the memo that this was just for children. She was quite upset and quoted the Bible that if it wasn't for everyone...God certainly didn't approve. Oh, you got to love Christmas! Well, we made this trip across town to this particular library b/c each year they have a certain Ethnic Santa that I like. He wears an Afro-centric Santa Suit and has long wavy hair and a nice salt and pepper beard. Um...that is not who stepped out of the back room. :-/ Oh, well. Like I said....Ladybug had fun and that is all that matters. I told her the Santa we saw was Santa's helper. She didn't seem to care either way. After we left the library we headed home and got ice-cream. She really liked that!!!

| Ladybug is talking with her daddy and trying to decide what toy she wants for Christmas! |
 |
| This was in the bathroom and was so hilarious!!! |
 |
| Working hard on her Gingerbread craft. |
 |
| This is the game that she picked out for herself. I had no idea that they would be giving gifts to the children! That was so sweet of them!!! |
 |
| The finished Gingerbread man! She is so talented. |
 |
| Once we left Santa, we went to get ice-cream from Sonic, b/c it was happy hour by then. I think the ice cream made up for all the craziness! But, she loved every minute of it! |
 |
| Ladybug and her bootlegged Santa! LOL! I think he couldn't find his wig....not sure what this is on his head. He is like a Moses Santa. But, Ladybug looks cute and happy and that's all that matters! |
