Santa

Our ward Christmas party was so much fun. We ate yummy food and got to mingle with all of our friends. An older gentleman in the ward played his guitar and sang Christmas songs all night. He did a great job too, might I add. At one point he had all of the kids join him up on stage to sing songs. I was kind of surprised that Addison wanted to do it because she can be pretty shy sometimes, but that girl LOVES to sing. Later in the evening we had a special visitor...Santa came to see the children. We were so glad that he came because we had decided that we probably weren't going to take the kids to see Santa this year because of the incident last year. For those of you who don't remember, Urban was screaming bloody murder and Addison jumped off Santa's lap and ran to the safety of her grandma who was standing nearby! Again I was surprised at how excited Addison was to talk to Santa. She couldn't wait to tell him about the Barbie & The Diamond Castle toys she wanted.

We figured we wouldn't torture poor Urban (or Santa) by making him sit on Santa's lap. He's going through an "I hate everyone who's not mom or dad" phase, so I don't think he would have enjoyed it.
