Meeting Santa

Saturday, we went to our ward Christmas breakfast. It was a lot of fun and the kids loved meeting Santa and singing Christmas songs. The girls love the song Angels We Have Heard on High. Both girls are really good at singing the 'Gloria' part! Niah loved Santa. She was a little shy, but she told him that she wants princess drums for Christmas.
This is about as close as Chloe would get. She was waving to him and saying, "ho ho ho" while waiting in line, but she didn't want to sit on his lap once it was her turn. I thought she would be friendly, but I guess you never know how kids will react!

Mrs. Clause was reading stories to the kids while others met Santa. I think this was Niah's favorite part. She was so intrigued by Mrs. Clause. She kept staring at her face while she was reading!




Chloe loved her bag of treats from Santa. That's probably the only reason she got as close to him as she did! It made her whole day.
We had a lot fun at the party. It was great to visit with ward members and get filled with more Christmas spirit!

That's so cute, kids are too funny when it comes to santa! You never know what they'll do! Brad even seemed a bit nervous for a minute, but then he was fine. And he was the one who kept asking to go see him. Go figure. :-) So drums huh? That'll be a fun noise maker! ;-) Your girls are too cute. I love seeing pics of you and your family.

Only ten days to go before you guys will be here! I can't wait to see you guys and the girls! They have gotten so so so big. It has been so long since I've seen all of you! Atleast Chole came close to Santan, Rilee didn't want anything to do with him, but she told Halee to tell him what she wanted for Christmas. I wish I could have been there with you guys! Have safe travels! Can't wait to see all of you! Love ya all!
