It's SANTA BABAY!!!!

Tuesday night was ward Christmas party night. I was crazy running everywhere, learning a new song to accompany, barely EVER practicing my "own" song, feeding all my food to my son, worrying my salad was disgusting, and then rushing up (late, of course) for the beginning of the program. (Which I believe I may have participated in 3 of the 5 acts...) But, when the program finally ended (ie. the party ended) Mister man in red himself showed up . Let the festivities begin. I got to enjoy some Christmas excitement waiting in line with my kiddos. Here is photographic proof.

Kami is so funny. I don't know why she is making these smiles lately. It's the closed mouth, barely a hint smile. Such a goof! We crimped her hair for the festivities and she says to me "Mom, what smile do you think would go with this hair?" GOOF!

These next few are our excited faces while waiting in line:

Apparently Cooper was bored. (Ignore my blurry pics. I keep getting kiddo fingerprints on the lens. Wonder how that happens?)Kami's face is the best!

Now for the moment of truth: sitting on Santa's lap. Kami was actually really excited and she only had a moments hesitation. Then she hopped right up and looked Santa intently in the eye. She turned around and smiled for the camera, and then gave him back her full attention. When he asked "What do you want for Christmas?" She confidently replied, "I want a water baby. With pink pajammies with a lady bug on the front." I didn't even coax her.

Of course there is no pic of Coop and Santa Claus because he was having NONE of that. However, he did give him five for a bag of candy. And then he gave him a thumbs up. Really, the kid was only in it for the candy.
