Christmas Party and Meeting Santa!

Our ward hosted a pretty wonderful Christmas party with dinner, entertainment and Santa Claus. Dan was still in Texas with his family so I took the boys over so they could meet Santa and they were so excited! They eagerly waited in line with the other kids.

 When it was their turn, Austin immediately ran up to him and crawled onto his knee.

 When Santa asked what he wanted for Christmas, Austin promptly said, "Mickey Mouse!" and stuck his tongue out for his normal picture pose.

Ethan was so excited he kept trying to run forward before Austin left. Santa gave Ethan a big hug and asked him what he wanted and Ethan started chattering a mile a minute! He told me afterwards what he asked for: A big boy bike with training wheels, a Rescuebot Transformer, and a toolbelt.

One of the boys babysitters, Aubree was helping the kids make their Santa snack and craft. Austin made his and then quickly ate it. 

 Then we went back to sit down for dinner and the entertainment. They had singing, Minute-to-Win-It games for the YM/YW leaders and lots of caroling. 

 It was a very fun Christmas Party and the boys talk about how they met Santa all the time! Ethan was very concerned though when Santa left for the night about how he would get back to the North Pole. He kept asking where the reindeer were and if the church had a chimney. It was hilarious!

So excited for Christmas with these sweet boys!
