Early Visit from Santa

Tonight a friend invited up to a Christmas party with her family and friends (and there friends, etc. It was quite a group).  The kids did some crafts and made some treats.  We ate and talked.  Then we got a special visit from Santa!  He sat each child on his lap and gave them a gift.  It was really special to see their excitement.  Caleb was waving to Santa.  Lily was grinning from ear to ear and Isaac was jumping up and down that Santa got him just what he wanted!  And he told Santa 7 more things he wanted on Christmas, including his own Kindle.  Oh boy!  What a special memory!

 

 Caleb was happy, Daddy just told him not to eat all the candy right away.

 

 

 Okay, happy now he can eat some.

 

 Isaac with Santa!

 Waiting until everyone gets their present from Santa!

 Caleb waited soo patiently.  He kept raising his hand when Santa would ask "who's next?"  It was cracking me up.  Preschool has taught him well!

 Look at that happy boy!

 Lily was super excited to talk to Santa.

 She only whispered in his ear what she wanted.  Sneaky girl!

 Ah, I just love these three!

Lots of thanks and hugs to Santa!

 Family photo time!
