Friday night was the church Christmas party. It was a fun dinner party just like the ones I remember as a kid. For the spiritual part of the Christmas program, Wayne read Luke 2 and we all sang Christmas carols. The kids sang a few songs as well. For the "fun" part of Christmas party, Santa came to visit. By the time our children got through the line they were seriously tired (Grace fell apart and had to be put back together w/ much love). Caroline managed to hang in there because she really wanted a candy cane from Santa. Well, it was a pretty one-sided conversation due to nerves on Caroline's part, but she got up on Santa's knee to listen to him tell her what a good girl she's been this year. She nodded a few times, took her fingers out of her mouth for the photo, took her candy cane, and was outta there! At 11, Christina most likely had the last conversation of her life with Santa. Thomas was eager to tell Santa what he wants for Christmas...the Star Wars trilogy and Nintendo DS. Grace would have no part of Santa this year. She told Christina to give Santa a message, "I want make-up for Christmas." I don't think Santa is that cruel to this hard working mommy:)
One of my pumpkin gingerbread loaves (with chocolate chips, of coarse) caved a bit in the oven so I thought it best to keep it home rather than take it to the party...we munched on it all day today.
OH, and we bought our Christmas tree. To be continued....

Grace must keep you in stitches all the time! Everyone needs one like her. Caroline is so darling--can't believe she's really that big! Yes, that was one of Kenz's sweaters...glad it was resurrected. It's always nice when Santa shows up b/c then it means free pic and you don't have to do the mall thing!
Santa had his fancy outfit on for your ward party!
