Santa!

Our first outing to for the kids to meet Santa went pretty much like we expected. I haven't seen too many babies that take warmly to a very large strange man with a long white beard, dressed in red and wearing a funny hat!!

We had our Family Christmas party at church Saturday night and Santa was there. We were so excited to get the kid's picture taken and not have to brave the mall Santa. All in all I think things went pretty well and we got some really cute pictures of the kids with Santa. Surprisingly Timothy was the most scared. Cameron warmed up after a moment or two, distracted by her candy cane, but Timothy just couldn't muster up the courage.

The party was great fun...full of families, singing, the story of Christmas, edible Nativity scenes and a chili cook off...that I lost! The kids had fun playing with their friends and we had fun talking to the several "soon to be parents" from the church...trying to prepare them. Here are a few photos of the festive evening.




PS...someone was taking pictures of all the kids with Santa. I'll post them when they get emailed to me.
