Christmas Party

Grandma's little angels in front of her Christmas tree

Saturday night was our annual Christmas Party at my mom's house, all our family gets together and we all invite whoever we want. Not a real big turn out this year, but it gave me a chance to visit w/ Trish of Hannah, Taylor & Hailey and we had a really good time just hanging out. Our girls got along tremendously just running around and playing, after all it was Grandma's house so there were ride on toys. Then Santa came for a visit and gave all the kids toys. Amelia didn't want anything to do w/ Santa, but it was demanded she sit on his lap for her gift and she did, and she didn't even scream, but you could tell she was not happy. When Santa called Hannah's name her facial expression was priceless, unfortunately all the camera's were behind the kids to capture photos on Santa's lap, but I was standing in front of the kids next to Santa, and her mouth opened, like how does he know my name and it was just a big jaw dropping moment for her. Other than that, it was an uneventful fun event. Enjoy the photos.

All the kids waiting to hear their names

Jordan on Santa's lap

Aaron on Santa's lap

Alex reluctantly on Santa's lap

Emilee was so excited to see Santa, until she had to get close to him

I think Hannah was still in shock

She was gripping me so hard, I let her go and she didn't fall.....love the reindeer on her butt???

Amelia wanted no part of this, but she did it

Kaylie wasn't all that thrilled sitting on Santa's lap either, she knew it was our friend John, so then I had to have a little chat w/ her that Santa has to hire 'helpers' this time of year

Hailey was having no part of that man

Amelia loved her "puppy dog", but it's really a teddy bear

Hailey was a little shy at first, but warmed up after a while
