We celebrated Christmas early this year. Santa heard that we were going to go to California this year for Christmas, so he made a special visit to Layton to visit us all together. The kids were so excited. I thought Trevor would be more excited then he was, but he was more scared then excited. We had a good dinner put together by Kathy and Jim. We played games, and visited and laughed. We did a gift card exchange with all of the grown ups including Tyler and Kelly via instant messenger all the way from Wisconsin. We had a great time and it was fun to get together and feel the Christmas spirit.
Riley and Santa. Santa asked Riley if her and her family have family prayers morning and night. She hesitated and I knew I had been made. Her answer, "sometimes!" Shoot now Santa and everyone knows that we don't say our family prayers every morning and night. For the record I would like to say that we do say our family prayers at night but struggle terribly to say them in the morning. So Santa if you're listening, I'll be better this year!
Cami and Santa. Cami would not look up at Santa's face this year. He jokingly said , "you know Cami, you can look up at me." Do you think she did? Nope. She didn't budge at all. She posed for her picture, giggled a touch, grabbed her present and was out like a light.
Trev and Santa. Trevor was a little hesitant this year. I was a little surprised but not really. Santa tried to get Trevor to come up and help him with handing out the presents. Trev wouldn't do it. Santa tried getting him to come up and help him ring the jingle bells. Trev wouldn't do it. He did however go up when Santa pulled his present out of his bag.
Paityn and Santa. Paityn, well, let's just say pictures say a thousand words. She was not having it. There was no way she was going to sit on that strange man's lap. She got her present anyway and maybe she'll warm up to the idea of sitting on Santa's lap before next Christmas.
Here's Paityn opening up her birthday presents. Trevor and Tanner and Daddy were helping of course. She loved all of her cute presents this year.
This is the present from Jim and Kathy. It's a little purple dog from Leap Frog that sings songs, plays games and even says her name. So cute and she LOVES it.
Blowing out the candle. She could have cared less about the singing and blowing out the candle. All she wanted was the cupcake.
So that's exactly what she got. She was hesitant at first but slowly started digging in.
Then she realized that this thing she had was so very tasty. She liked it.
Down to the last crumb that she licked off the highchair tray.
