Atherton Place Christmas Party and Santa at the Poston's

We have been seeing alot of Santa lately...  Hope that is a good sign :)  Last Thursday we saw Santa at Phipps and then on Saturday we talked to Santa at Atherton Place and then saw him again on Sunday at the Poston's.  Whew!!  On Saturday Dave completed his first adventure race in the North GA Mountains that included trail running and mountain biking.  He had a great time and I was so proud of him for doing it.  It was no easy task I think they covered around 11+ miles of trail running (that would mean running up a mountain) and 15 miles of mountain biking.  Good Job Dave!!  While Dave was doing his race the kids met Papa, LeLe, Great Aunt Mary at Atherton Place (where Great Grandma lives) to attend the annual Atherton Place Christmas Party.  It was such a nice party and the food was great!  They had pictures with Santa and a lady doing caricatures for the kids and Kids at Heart.  We had a nice time. 

On Sunday we had our third Santa visit of the year at the Poston's annual Christmas Party.  They are so kind to invite so many into their home to have pictures with Santa.  We had a nice time seeing friends and Ella Kate enjoyed talking to Santa again.  John did NOT enjoy talking to Santa but he will laugh at these pics soon. 

 I love the look on John's face checking out Santa.  What John is really thinking is can you please not touch me and just give me some of that candy in your basket :)
