CHRISTMAS FUN!!!

My boys finally got a chance to sit on Santa's lap. We caught up with Santa here in Delta at IFA or as Pace calls it "the cowboy store"! Briggs was so funny. He walked very cautiously up to Santa, grabbed his candy cane, and then turned and ran away. He knows what it is really about...the candy! My camera wasn't cooperating with me so I didn't get pictures of the other boys with Santa, but Pace was supper brave. He walked right up to Santa, sat on his lap, and said loud and clear that he wanted new cowboy boots and a barn and that he had been a good boy! Pace always makes me laugh. Jaygen was really hesitant but he made his way up to Santa's lap too. He had the biggest smile on his face and told Santa really quiet that he wanted a DSi. Oh...Jaygen truly has the best smile ever...how could Santa ever tell him no?! The group shot!

To make this Santa visit even better, they were giving hay rides outside the "cowboy store". Pace was totally in heaven. The other boys had a way fun time too (including Todd)!

The other night we had our ward Christmas party. It was so much fun! The theme was "A Night in Bethlehem". We were suppose to go in costume so we found an old sheet and turned the boys into little shepards. They looked so cute! Todd was totally into it too. He grabbed a towel for his head...he looked so cute, ha ha!!

Eating on our blanket...there was no room in the Inn. (Nice smile Briggs!)

Then some of the ward members acted out the nativity story. My boys loved it all. This was such a good reminder of why we celebrate Christmas. It really got the boys asking questions and thinking about things. Especially since they got to dress up and be a part of things. It was great to get a break from all the hussle-bustle of Christmas and feel the real spirit of Christmas!
