Santa, Christmas parties, and Family gatherings....

(Dec 6, 2010)

Can you guess what this picture means????? It's time to meet Santa!!!! Dinner @ Fritz's and then to see Santa has become our family tradition. Scott and i decided the game plan this year would be to go earlier in the month so we could attempt to avoid the lines....and it worked! No wait at Fritz's or to see santa. It made for two happy boys and two happy parents.






Playing in Crayola land.


We finally made it to santa, after playing for so long, and we had plenty to tell him. Mommy made the rule that we can only tell Santa three things that we want...b/c santa isn't able to bring EVERYTHING that is on our list. Ryan's top three thing...a vulcan nerf gun, marble run, and legos. Owen's top three things...zhu zhu pets, legos, and mommy can't remember the third item (opps!)




Then it was off to see the pretty trees all lit up in the white lights...and to climb away in the little crown center town.



Next up, it was the neighborhood "kids christmas party." Including choc covered pretzels, cheeseball, lil smokeys, root beer, and gift exchange. I think Owen thought it was the coolest b/c he got to play with all the big kids.



The gift exchange....it was kinda like hot potato, once you were out, you picked a present and had to wait til everyone had their present.
Owen and Evelyn waiting with their presents.

The next day, it was off to the Wolpers family Christmas. As the years have passed and the cousins have gotten married and started families of our own, we are only able to get together once a year. 6 of the 8 cousins or grandchildren were there. Here we all are with our sig. others and grandma :)


And all the great grandchildren (minus baby Callie, but plus mommy b/c Owen would not cooperate).
