Santa Claus is coming to town!

Tracey and I took all the kids to the Skagit Gardens to sit on Santa's lap. Tracey and Tyler were way in front of us in line, however, we wanted to sneak up and get a quick picture of the 4 of them together. Kheringtyn was only okay with seeing him from a distance and was crying before I even set her down next to Jaymin.

So of course I would do what any good mom would do and sit back, enjoy the show, take lots of pictures and maybe record alittle 30 sec video clip of the screaming and fear I brought upon my child while sitting next to this jolly 'old fella.

I still wanted to get a picture of my girls smiling with Santa, however, Kheringtyn only was happy as long as mommy sat next to him and she sat on MY lap. We told her this 2nd time that if she gave Santa alittle poke in his belly, he'd giggle and say "ho ho ho!"

She thought that was pretty funny,..

..and did just that! Poke!

He let out alittle "ho ho ho" and she thought that was pretty funny. Now she goes around telling everyone, "Santa says ho ho ho!"

You're not pouting are you?

Warming up by the fire and giving a dear friend, Katie, a hug at the Gardens.

These girls are just too cute all dolled up in their Christmas dresses. The girl on the right is Morgyn's gymnastics pal, Quinlynn.
