Christmas Fun!

Blogging about Christmas in May??? Will I ever get caught up with this blog???  Although I am trying, I feel like life is happening so fast that I can't stay on top of it.  It has been fun to look back at this blog from time to time and see what has happened in our lives and how much we have grown.  So if for no other reason, I will continue to blog for my family :)

We had lots of Christmas fun during the month of December.  I am going to try to fit everything into a post or two :)

It has been our tradition to go see Santa arrive on a firetruck at the city hall.  I think my kids look forward to it.  Seems like we run into everyone there.

Our ward Christmas party!

Look who showed up to find out what my kids wanted for Christmas.  Blakley wanted to tell him a secret.  Still not sure what she said..... Hmmmm!

My boys are growing up way too fast!  Pretty soon I am going to have to bribe them to sit on Santa's lap.

Blakley had her preschool Christmas program.

She did so stinkin good :)

It's fun that Bentley and Kenli were in the program with her!

 We had our annual Lavin Family Christmas Paaaaarrrrtttty!

Beware of Picture Overload!

 I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas time!

Santa's Comin to town.....

For the last several years, we have gone to see Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive at the city hall.  Kind of a kick off to the holiday season! The kids are always so excited to watch Santa and Mrs. Claus's arrive on the firetruck. This year was no different.  We all bundled up for a fun night with our family and friends!

I love my man.....

 

I love this picture!!

Look at Carter and Brooks hugging each other. Best Buddies!

Blakley was so excited when Santa came that she started to scream and clap! It was fun to watch her get that excited:)  I secretly think my dad wanted to scream and clap too!  Two peas in a pod.

Santa's coming to our town!

Santa once again has come in style to visit us.

First class ticket on a big red fire engine!

Every year, our city has Santa come to the city hall for the lighting of the Christmas decorations. They have activities for the kids, hay rides and lots of treats! We look forward to it every year.

Tanner was the first to sit on his lap and give his long list of what he wants:)

Carter and Brooks couldn't wait to see him.

Blakley loved Mrs. Claus and got right up on her lap. She didn't care much for Santa:)

Proud Papa and Grandma

Benson was so happy till he actually got close to Santa, then he was hysterical. Poor kid!

After visiting with Santa, we got to sit around the fire with our friends drinking hot chocolate and eating scones. YUM:)
