I am not one to take my kids to see Santa. I don't know why it's just not my thing. Well Ok, one time when Brad and Hailie were like 2 and 1 we happened to be at the mall so....there was that one time. Now back to my story, Santa is always at our ward Christmas party and this year a very kind photographer in our ward took pictures. Keep in mind this is an early morning pajama party. So I go on line to download the pics and I was dying laughing. My kiddos wandered over and waited in line on there own while I was visiting with friends so needless to say I had no idea what the pics would look like. I also have to say that these were the out-takes and there were good pics too but these just made me smile.

Jeffys is obviously still tired this early.

While Jason and Trent are very comfortable giving Santa the low-down.

Not to mention Jason's great style.

It's that time of year once more. We started this tradition about 5 years ago and my kids love it. I love to see what kind of creations everyone comes up with. This year John and Hailie built a tee pee complete with totem pole, canoe and buffalo. Jason chose to do a modern house while the other kids stuck with traditional homes. Johns sister Amy and her family happened to be here so they joined in on the fun. I think Kendra ate as much as she put on her house...all part of the fun of course. Amy built a sweet ski run but I didn't get a pic of that.
