Breakfast with Santa

12.10

Last night was Brent's office party which was held at Priscilla's house in Bullard and we knew the kids needed to go to bed early since Breakfast with Santa started at 8:30 Saturday morning. I brought a Lemon Cream Cheese Cheese Ball with Honey Graham crackers to the party and I got several compliments on it which made me happy since the long drive from Gilmer to Bullard flatten the cheese ball. It was fun meeting Brent's co-workers and their spouses. We were the first couple to leave the party at 9pm and by the time we went to Brent's office to get my car, got gas, picked up the kids from Kiki and Pops house, Beck and Kinsey finally went to bed at 11pm. I took several pictures but most of them turned out blurry (still learning how to use the fixed lens). However, I did ask somebody to take a picture of us...our big night out since going to Dallas for the Nascar race five weeks ago.

Beck ate a bowl of cereal before going to the church since he told us that he doesn't like pancakes...who doesn't like pancakes??? Anyway, we woke Kinsey up from a deep sleep, hopped in the car for our less than one mile drive to church. Beck loves his camo jacket so much that it's almost impossible to get it off of him.

Kinsey enjoyed eating donut holes and sausage links. She is wearing Beck's first Christmas jammies which has his name on them so I put a tutu on her to cover up his name. She looked really cute!

The kids enjoyed coloring and making Christmas ornaments...

I knew Kinsey would cry when she saw Santa so I went ahead and got a picture of her in Santa's chair near the Christmas tree...

I wish we could have taken Beck's jacket off for this picture because this is the only picture I got of them together...

All of the kids sang Christmas songs while waiting for Santa...

Surprise....Santa is here!!!

Beck never cried when he sat in Santa's lap but Kinsey is definitely a screamer!

Since Beck saw Kinsey crying so hard, he decided he did not want to sit on Santa's lap so this is a picture of Beck with Santa...

Maybe we'll have better luck next year. Great job to all of those that organized this event!!!
