Christmas Parties

Our ward at church always does a yearly Christmas party with breakfast casserole, singing carols, and of course a visit from Ol' Saint Nick!  The kids loved singing Jingle Bells, and when Santa came out, Danny got so excited!!  As soon as Santa sat in his chair on the stage, Danny RAN up the stairs and was first in line to see him!

Emily was so excited when she saw Santa...but sitting on his lap was a whole different story!

She was happy once she got her candy cane!

Our fabulous friends also put on a little Christmas party for all the kids.  I was so happy that we did it early enough so that we could have one last party before moving to Utah.  We decided to let the kids make gingerbread houses.  They had a lot of fun decorating them.  Naturally, more candy ended up in their mouths than on their houses...

After lunch, we also did a little White Elephant for the kids.  They had a great time!

Emily's turn!

Another successful party for the kids!
