Santa's visit

My family arrived and the house just felt - well - more like home. Of course we are busting at the seems, but that is what the holidays are for. Jason, Riley and my dad arrived Friday morning. My mom and sister flew a day later to make sure tthey logged some quality teaching hours. They had a bit of a delay in Logan and were thankful that Riley was already settled once they arrived.

The second night they were here, we hosted a Christmas party.
Ladies playing on the floor. Macy and Riley are less than 72 hours apart.

As the party was in full swing, you will never guess who arrived!! The Jolly Guy himself!

Anna stole all of our hearts (to include Santa's) as she raced up to give the jolly man a heart felt hug and kiss.

Tate was a little more reserved so Macy had to show him how its done.

Riley was checking out those curls

Nick was a bit more confident this year. Shane has a bit to learn and Riley is just too cute.

Now what do all your beautiful ladies want for Christmas?

Sweeties

With Santa back on his sleigh, we decided to entertain the munchkins with a little film. Appears to have worked for now!

Monday morning Nick went off to Kindergarden - he wanted to show Oma Sue were is was.

That and he didn't want to come in from the snow. he made tons of snow angels.
