Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

Kate on her way to see Santa for the first time.

Last year Eli didn't want to sit on Santa's lap, so this year I just sat him next to Santa.  But Santa was so concerned about holding Kate that he didn't pay any attention to Eli sitting next to him.  Lesson learned.
Eli really did enjoy seeing this Santa, but he always looks at the camera girl like she is stupid for dancing all around with her bells.

Eli and Santa were talking all about trains.

Christmas Kate and Santa.

Eli running to see our favorite Saint Nick.
Riding the train with dad.

He is way too busy for a picture.  He loved the snowflakes they hand out after you ride the train.

Kate thought the State Museum was just great!

Eli was excited about the tractor and other farm equipment.

Kate's first train ride.

My annual picture of a picture.  He is our favorite Santa, but you're not allowed to take your own images.
My date to Yuletide.

Ashley and I at Yuletide.  They have Taylor's Bakery butter cookies at Intermission...yum!

Yuletide was fun this year because Joe Shadday was part of the Men's Company.  It was fun to watch someone we know.  He has the most amazing voice.  I wanted him to sing solo.

We made gingerbread houses at the Cooper's.  Eli wanted to eat all the candy.

Baby Kate and Baby Silas.  We love them so. 

These two are so sweet.  We had fun with them.
