A Vistit From Santa!

We have one of the sweetest soles in our ward who every year opens her home to every child she knows AND Santa! It is a favorite of every one! We had "the talk" that Santa can't be everywhere and that he has helpers. Unfortunately my boys are all getting a little too big (for me at least!) and started talking about WHO Santa's helper might be! Now, among themselves this is not a problem, but it was on the way home in the van IN FRONT of Emma! I'm sure you all heard the "STOP TALKING" being yelled no matter where you happened to be!

Emma was so cute!

She had been waiting for this ALL day! So much so that earlier in the day she was naughty and was very worried she had blown her chance to see Santa!

Porter thinks he is pretty cool, but are you ever really too cool to sit on Santa's lap?

Connor asked Santa for coal! Yes, that is right, coal! He told Santa he wanted it to sell on the Internet to make money! Connor always has a plan! (The best part is on Christmas morning and his coal was chocolate he was bummed! =) )
Maycie was totally cool with Santa - until Daddy set her on his lap!
But don't worry, she still got excited every time she saw a picture or anything!

Getting a little big, aren't you, Jaxon!
Jaxon actually got in and out of line over and over again! In fact it wasn't until a bunch of older boys from the ward showed up and got in line that he did too!

This wonderful woman in our ward doesn't just have everyone into her home! She makes sure that every child leaves with a pair of gloves! When there weren't any gloves to fit Maycie she went and found her a hat!

That is one tradition that I really miss. And Harley makes it a Santa's helper. Looks like you had a fantastic Christmas.

I cant believe that she gives out gloves! (I know out of all that, that is what I am most impressed with!)But that has to be very expensive (I had to buy gloves this year) even for just the cheap kind! What a wonderful woman I hope that the lord gives her extra blessing for it! And for Jaxon being a bit old Yet Cole looked pretty much like that too and we had to have "the talk" and afterwards he thought that we were just kidding and that Santa was really still real (I had to pull him aside on the way to scouts and tell him in PLAIN language that he isn't!) I cant believe that he lasted the last 13 years
