A Visit with Santa

My sister-in-law Cathy, and Jeannie and I decided to have a Christmas Party with the little cousins.  First, we had breakfast, then we decorated cookies, played in the snow and had a special surprise visitor come.  It was so cute to see the little ones get pretty excited when he showed up!

 Lizzy asked if I wanted to take her picture!  Do you think she's been trained?

 The little girls: Penny, Gabby and Lizzy

 Gabby

 Cute Ramzy!

 Penny going about her mess quietly!

Todd wearing Randy's hat...It looks like it is just sitting on top of his head!  Funny!

 Grandpa started reading "Kissing Kringle"  to get the kids to settle down as we waited for our "visitor" to come.

 This is the look of the group as Santa entered!  I love Max's face in this picture

 Iver looked pretty excited, although he told me later that it wasn't the REAL Santa!

 Penny was a bit frightened...

 Jake seemed unaffected, which is pretty typical for Jake

 Lucas wasn't scared at all!  He even came back later and showed Santa what he got.  He was cute.

 Lizzy got right up and gave him her list

 Tanner let Santa know what he was wanting.

 Penny didn't want to be within 5 feet of this guy!  This is as close of a photo that we could get them both in!

 Ramzy giving in...

 What a sweet Santa to work the Sparks cousin into his busy schedule!
