Breakfast with Santa

Grandma took the grandkids to have breakfast with Santa.  We had a blast!  We woke up really early and headed up to Gateway mall.  We had breakfast at Clark Planetarium.

After breakfast we took pictures with Santa, they will be posted later.  Then we headed over to the movies and watched Arthur's Christmas.  It was a really cute movie!  

Thanks Grandma, we LOVE you!!!

Santa's Lap

We took the boys to see Santa at the mall while we were in Ohio.  DJ was so excited and ran up to give Santa a huge hug.  He couldn't stop looking at him, it was really cute.  Alex had the opposite reaction to Santa.  He freaked out and wouldn't stop crying.  He was terrified of Santa, and how dare we put him on his lap.

 They took a couple of different pictures.  One even had Alex look like he wasn't really crying, but Jason and Ashley decided to choose the picture of what really happened.  

Good choice, I love it!

Christmas Party

We had a family Christmas party on December 3rd. We met up at my aunt's house to eat dinner and see Santa. My aunt set it up as Christmas around the world, so everyone was to bring a main dish and dessert from a different country around the world. It was fun to eat a variety of foods instead of the traditional Christmas food. It was also fun to see all my cousins, it has been awhile!
Here is DJ and Santa

Classic Fun Center

Dawson Jay

We decided that for our family Christmas party that we would do something different. We chose to go to Classic Fun Center. I had never been there but had heard that it was a lot of fun, and it was! The kids went skating, and on the bounce houses. Then almost everyone went and played laser tag together. Kurt, Shai, and Hil stayed back and took care of DJ while the rest of us sweated our butts off running around. Santa happened to come while we were there so we were able to get DJ's very first pictures with Santa. He just stared at him with wide eyes. I think that he liked his white beard.
