santa who?

Every year every ward has a Christmas party.  And every year at every ward Christmas party, Santa comes.  At least it has been that way my whole life.  But I wasn't sure if my boys knew that as we were getting ready for our Tuesday night party at the church last week. 

So I said, "Hey guys, someone really special is coming to our Christmas party tonight."

Davyn spun around, eyes lit up, and quickly squealed, "Jesus!"

...but he still happily sat on this guy's lap later that night:

While big brother refused.  Adamantly.  Claiming that Santa wears glasses.  Where are his glasses, Mom?!

There was a Santa visiting our town's library PJ storytime a bit ago--my kids wouldn't get anywhere close to him. Another little girl kept insisting in a loud voice that it really couldn't be Santa (her parent's kept shushing her...). It's pretty funny to see the various reactions from the kiddos.

Merry Christmas to you this week!

Is it just me or does Santa look drunk in that photo??

Santa was actually a friend of ours and he did an awesome job with the kids.

I'm loving that the first special person they thought of was the Saviour. Awesome.

How sweet is it that Jesus was his first guess?? And oh, what a ward party that would be!

NONE of my kids has EVER sat on Santa's lap. They could not be convinced that he wasn't scary when they were little, and when they grew up they didn't care!
