Clabber Girl Country Christmas

I won $15 worth of tickets for the Clabber Girl Country Christmas which motivated us to check it out last weekend. It's an annual tradition for those in Terre Haute, but we had never gone. They had a fabulous looking Santa, but I could not convince the girls to get their picture taken with him :(  Oh well!  Aubrey will observe Santa from far away, but get close to him and she SCREAMS!!!  It's quite humorous if you ask me.

The place was PACKED!  The girls were able to make an orange/clove ornament, make a snowflake ornament, frost a sugar cone and decorate with m&m's so it looked like a Christmas tree, then they each got a gingerbread cookie with their name on it, each got their face painted, listened to Mrs. Claus read a story for a bit, and ended with a 'cake' walk type of thing that you got a prize at the end, regardless. Aubrey picked a pencil, but then put it back for sucker; Natalie picked a pencil then threw an all out temper tantrum because she wanted to change her pencil for a sucker too after we had already left. It was definitely time to leave after that!

There was even more stuff to do, but with the crowds and using up all of our tickets, we were ready to head home and eat lunch. Overall the girls had fun, but it's so hard to enjoy doing fun things when they get so cranky at times!

This was a fun event, but I'm not sure we will go again or not, but I'm glad we experienced it at least once!
