Christmas Fun

I am so grateful that Santa takes the time to come to our ward Christmas party so that I don't have to fight the crowds with the mall Santa. Sam is very into Santa this year, and sadly Jacob is doing some doubting. He keeps asking how it's possible for reindeer to fly, and how Santa could make it all around the world in just one night. We try our best, telling him it's not actually one night because different parts of the world are on different times, so he actually has two nights. He's not sure Santa could even do it in two nights, but he is not willing to declare his unbelief completely because he does want that DS he asked for. Maybe we can get another year out of it. We love going to Bethlehem Village every year at the Presbyterian Preschool. The kids love the petting zoo, Llama rides and Hot Chocolate. They even do a live nativity and sing Christmas carols.




Jacob looks like he's taking a nap on the Llama, I hate when they close their eyes just as I snap the picture!


Sam loved chasing the sheep and goats, poor guys.

Just remind Jacob, if you believe you will receive.

The boys are so cute. I love the pics with the animals.

I am having my doubts about Santa too, Jacob...

Cute boys - gotta do the Santa picture each year - until they are at least 18! That was something my mom made us do and so now I will be torturing my own children with the Santa Photo!

That Bethlehem Village looks really cool!

What a cool nativity scene. I would love to see a live nativity. There is nothing like that around here. At least we have snow.

Looks like Sam is cheating on Abby, usually he chases her, now goats are her competition. :)
Santa's getting a lot of DS requests this year...

Bethlehem Village was awesome this year. Loved watching Sammy chase the goats and sheep.
