SANTA CLAUS

Jill & Jerry invited us to Riverside to see Santa Claus. It was no ordinary visit. Dylan, Dallas, and Tyler were hanging out with their cousins.

They were serving hotdogs, chicken strips, and mac & cheese.

This is the kids patiently waiting for Santa Claus to come.

Santa Claus arrived in a helicopter. They all thought that was the coolest thing. It was hard to get a good picture once the helicopter blew snow all over the window.

Dylan, first asked Santa Claus for an elf for Christmas. Santa Claus said that he didn't think that he could spare one of his. So then Dylan said...ok well then I guess an ipod nano.

Dallas had a hard time thinking what he wanted, but he did ask Santa if he was on the naughty list.

Tyler had a whole list of things to tell Santa....idog, dog, hamster, night vision.

Gingerbread House Building

Here is our annual gingerbread house construction. There was a little bit of issues this year and we had to pull out the glue gun. Normally, I instruct them on what to do by following the picture. This year, I decided to let them do whatever they wanted as long as they all agreed. The agreeing part was the hard part.

Tyler loses another tooth

Tyler had been wiggling this tooth for awhile and wouldn't let us pull it out. I talked him into letting me have one try at it and I almost had it. It started bleeding. Well the next day he pulled it out himself. :)
