It was time for Grandma Nette's annual Christmas party this weekend. We nearly didn't make it when it was snowing like crazy up here but once we got wind near the afternoon that the canyon was clear, we headed out for the long drive. We made it there safe and sound and stopped first at Papa Ringo's house and got to visit with Uncle Ryan and Grandma Judi for a while but sadly Papa was out pushing snow for work. Then once we all got ready, we went down to Grandma Nette's house to start the fun. First off was goofing time with cousins.
I got Faith the cutest Christmas outfit. She would not stand still or smile long enough for me to get a good pic. But it's still cute as can be.
After a yummy dinner of tacos and burritos, we sang some songs and then Santa came walking right through the door. The kids all flocked to him. Caleb gave him a hug. He then had the kids sing him Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer before we could start the main event.
He called Faith's name second in line and we were worried how she would do. She was unsure about it but she never cried. I'll take it for this year.
In her gift from Santa was a brand new CPK PJ dolly. She loved it and cuddled with it on the long ride back home.
Next it was Zaric's turn. He climbed right up and told Santa he wanted a Woody toy. They even shared a laugh or two.
In his gift from Santa there was a TMNT Leonardo dress up kit with a sword.
Next up was Zaden, he was a little more reserved at first but he got around to telling Santa about the Buzz Lightyear toy he wanted. He made sure to describe it in detail, making sure he knew this time that he wanted him to have a laser and a shield.
And wouldn't you know it? He also got a TMNT dress up kit. Michaelangelo with nunchucks.
Then finally toward the end of the pile, Caleb got his turn. He told Santa the 3 things he really wanted this year.
And in his Santa party gift was the build your own dino kit with internal squishy organs he'd eyeballed in the store a couple times. We spent some time this morning putting him together.
It was a fun party and another successful year. And we are happy to report that while it was snowing when we left Grandma Nette's and we were a little worried about the roads once more, we made it home safe and sound to a Sunday full of chores. Thanks Grandma Nette and Papa Kevin for the fun party. And just for fun here's the pic Dad took on his cell phone and the two Ninja Turtles side by side.
9 Day til Christmas! Not that we're counting.
