Our ward Christmas party was this last Friday and we had a special visitor...SANTA! Poor guy got practically mobbed by all the kids, but both of my boys were finally willing to sit on Santa's lap.
When asked what he wanted for Christmas, K said he wanted candy canes...sweet deal for Santa! K was happy as a cucumber as soon as he got off Santa's lap because candy canes just happened to be Santa's little gift to all the kids :).
C sat on Santa's lap long enough to realize that Santa wasn't going to
open his candy cane for him, but he sat long enough for me to snap a
quick picture.
When we go anywhere that has a picture of Santa, ie every aisle of WalMart, C starts screaming "Oh, oh oh Santa...nother Santa!" I just love the fact that as my boys grow they understand more and more...it brings more joy and excitement to the holidays :).
After a while the boys got a bit rowdy so I brought home my fun gingerbread house kit that Sandra had made and finally put it all together on Monday. I'm proud to say it's still standing, but it's lacking greatly in many of the decor after almost a week with my boys near it :).
