Santa Party

On Dec. 8th we went to a Santa Party.  This has become a new tradition for our family...we go to a house with lots of friends and we have lots of snacks and desserts as we wait for Santa and Mrs. Clause to come!  

Here is Santa and the boys.  (Funny story...a few days before Santa left a note for the boys telling them that they need to clean their rooms.  We kept telling Noah that he needs to get his room clean because we are going to see Santa that night.  Well...he never cleaned it.  In fact he  pretty much destroyed his room.  As we were leaving to go to the Santa Party, he was having a melt down because he never cleaned his room and he doesn't know what Santa was going to do to him.  That night, Santa happened to ask them if they have been cleaning their rooms and if their room was clean.  Caden happily said his room was and Noah just sat there with wide eyes and a look of I don't know what to say and don't know if I should cry.  It was priceless.  Needless to say, he cleaned his room that night:)

After Santa comes, he always says hi to all the kids and then reads them a story.  After the story he pulls out his red bag and gives each kid a present.  The kids love it!!

Here is Santa coming into the room.  As we were driving home that night Caden asked why Santa is so BIG!!  I said because he eats lots of cookies and milk.  He was kinda silent for a minute and asked, but how does he eat them?  I was kinda confused and asked him what he means and he goes...he has so much hair on his face, how does he get the cookies in his mouth when its covered up???  

Ahh...the innocence of a child:)
