Pictures With Santa 2012

Our family attended a fundraiser in Perry recently for the five little boys that were burned in an accident. When we got there we saw that they had pictures with Santa. We decided to go ahead and do it. Wish I would have dressed the kids all up instead of having them AS IS. Probably wouldn't have mattered much they were running like crazed little things all through out the gym area having a riot. Good thing they are stinking cute any way you slice it. Evelyn wasn't having any of it at first but we eventually coaxed her into the photo. Gotta admit, I think it will be kinda sad when I don't have a little one that isn't feeling the Santa love in pictures.

 Ally was excited to have two of her best friends there at the same time so she could get a picture taken with them as well. Emma and Taylor have been great friends to her for a great many years.

Family Christmas Photos

Marketstar brought in a photographer and did free family photos with Santa this year. Other than Ladybug's hair looking like her finger got put in a light socket I think they turned out great. Much better than the ones I tried to take when we took the kids to Christmas Village. We even got Cincess to smile. She was not pleased with having to be that close to Santa. However, once I told her she could have a candy cane if she smiled she threw on a cheeser. Thank you Cincess!
Chub was also pretty good for the photos, although I will admit I think it had to do with the stern warning I gave him on the way into Ogden that "he had better smile or there would be consequences!" What is it with getting kids to behave for photos?

There was no way Cincess was gonna get that close to Santa again, so we had to opt for just the older three.

This one of Tiny Man and Santa is much better than the one I took. It was all blurry and his eyes were closed. For good measure he ran back and gave Santa another hug before we headed home. He must REALLY want that ipod!

Ogden's Christmas Village

We got the entire family bundled up in our snow gear and headed out to Christmas Village! It was FREEZING! Single digits! However....we made it through the ENTIRE village this year.....AND without a single complaint from the kids about how cold it was! It was AMAZING!

This was the best shot I got of Tiny Man and Santa....kinda sad I know! He asked for an ipod this year....is there a kid in the world that didn't?

LAdybug has been writing letters to Santa ALL summer asking for something that DOES NOT EXIST! We kept telling her that they don't exist. She would come back with..... "Santa and his elves make ALL the toys....he can make this!" We finally told her that there is no way Santa can come up with a custom toy this late in the game...there are just simply too many kids . She wanted a car that is her size that has walkey-talkeys, a candymaker, a/c, power EVERYTHING, a phone, a TV, etc. the list goes on and on! Fortunately for Santa she changed her mind just prior to seeing him. Now she has requested Super Secret Spy Gear! Alrighty then! :)

Chub asked Santa for a Star Cruiser from Star Wars

Cincess once again screamed her head off.......loosely translated we think that means Ariel Barbie doll.



Nate and I just want our Ogden house to sell! Hopefully Santa is checking his list more than twice to see if someone is on there that is asking for it!
