Christmas Party

Our family Christmas party this year was memorable as always!

We enjoyed tasty snacks,


marveled at Grandma's 14 foot tree,

went back for seconds,

and joked with cousins.

The highlight of the evening, of course, was the arrival of Santa Clause. Our youngest pestered him with question after question: "Where is Rudolph?" "Are you the real Santa?" "Will you bring me some Star Wars guys?"

When he was finally allowed to sit, Santa asked who wanted to sit on his lap ...see who jumped up first!

Our daughter asked Santa for a pet turtle. (Strike one)

Our oldest wanted a four-wheeler. (Strike two)

And this guy wanted a dog! (Strike three)

Aunt Cristi had the best request: Bon Jovi! But if she couldn't have him she would take a boyfriend as good as her Dad and brothers!

Grandpa has everything he wants, but the kids sure thought it was fun to see him talk to Santa.

Grandma too!

Thanks for a memorable evening, Santa!
