A Christmas First...


Here are the boys sitting on Santa's lap, for the first time...ever. Every other year, the mere sight of Santa has them running for cover behind my legs and shrieking in terror. At our ward Christmas party, they all watched in awe as Santa entered the room and were lurred to the long line with the promise that he was handing out treats. As they waited their turn, Hayden repeated over and over that we would definately not be going up there, and Benson stood with big, panicky eyes that showed he was in agreement. But when the time came, they both walked up, climbed on his lap and quickly spouted off their Christmas lists (which mostly contained Christmas wishes they had never conveyed to me), grabbed their mini candy canes and came back to us with big smiles. Where's Isabella, you wonder? She's hiding behind her Daddy's legs and shrieking in terror...but not until she snagged a candy cane from Santa's bag.
