Christmas Party

Towards the end of December, we got to go down to Salt Lake for the Newren Family Christmas party! We do it every year, and it is always so much fun.

We have dinner, games and Santa ALWAYS comes for a visit (he even came back when I was little). Most of the kids were excited when the big bearded man came through the door... Obviously one of the exceptions is Ryan. He claims that he "hates" Santa and he took one look at him and started to scream. I forced him to sit on Santa's lap for a picture...

Ty on the other hand- had NO problems with the big man. He told Santa he had been VERY good this year and that he didn't know what he wanted. This isn't entirely true- he begged for months for a Nintendo DS- but Shaun and I had to tell him that Santa didn't bring Nintendos to anyone younger than 10. Shoot. He was pretty much open to anything else after that point, so he told Santa to surprise him.

Kate also had no problem with Santa. She was actually pretty in love with his beard and kept trying to pull on it.
