CHEER: continued from Page A1 HHS Key Club pres- ident Kellie Zepeda and Vanessa Ambriz, vice pres- ident, said it was great to see people happy and hav- ing a good time. The event, Zepeda said, was all about spreading Christmas joy. Seaton liked the arrange- ment, which encouraged families to interact. “I like having our own tables,” Karen Seaton said. “Then, you can also get up and mingle with other people.” The Seatons’ 6-year-old daughter, McKenna, was happy spending time with some of her West Park Ele- mentary School classmates. “Because school has been out, they’ve been needing their friend fix,” Karen said. McKenna, along with Athena Huffman-Martin and Harmony Blake, both 6, were busy creating crafts. The trio showed off their gingerbread men and rein- deer ornaments. Besides making ornaments and col- oring holiday-themed pic- tures, the girls agreed they missed visiting with each other since snowy weather resulted in school closures. “My favorite part is be- ing with my friends,” Har- mony said. Santa Claus posed for photos and listened as ea- ger youngsters shared their Christmas wish lists.

The 5-year-old is hoping the jolly ol’ elf will deliver a drone during his Christmas Eve flight. His 10-year-old brother, Ryan, who has his heart set on a LEGO set, enthusiastically summed up Pancakes with Santa. “We had fun, more fun and even more fun,” he said while grinning from ear to ear. 1ST ST TIME EVER!
