Meeting Santa


Getting ready for our ward Christmas Party.
Of course the "teenagers" were out
doing something way more important....

Just eating a delicious (and harmless) cookie....
When all of a sudden....

Wait for it....
.....
.....
.....
.....
.....
.....
.....
.....
The big man arrives!


We waited in line for what seemed like FOREVER....
and the sadness never faded.


Boy even tried to cheer her up and make her smile....


but meeting that big ole' bearded man was
just as horrible as she had imagined....


So to make up for the traumatizing night....
we drove around and looked at Christmas lights
for a good hour....



"Yosty the No-man," and the "Ho-Ho's"
were the biggest hit!
("Ho-Ho's" as in Santa Clause....the fake ones of course....
as in plastic blown up fake ones...
not the dressed up human fake ones)


And that was WAY more fun and not half as SCARY!!

Your family picture is ADORABLE!!! And I'm in awe that your ward Christmas party had such an elaborate backdrop for Santa! Very impressive!

Same ole Chiara...with such a cute family. We may need to have our Santa stop by your house next year, no one ever crys when he arrives! And hurry and become the CEO at Jetblue so we can hang out more!
