Santa visit #2

Last night we had a neighborhood Chistmas party.

There were probably 12+ families there, so the

hosting family's home was very full, but that didn't stop us

all from having a great time. Everyone brought their favorite

appetizer or dessert, and we all ate and talked

AND ate and talked for hours.

The kids all played and watched a movie in the basement

so us adults got to just hang out and talk upstairs.

We also had a surprise visit from Santa-

well his helper of course!

This was the 2nd time our kids got to visit

and give their wishes to Santa's helper.

We went to the mall last week

but I don't buy those pictures and they hawk you like

crazy if you TRY to take your own picture.

Luckily we got some pics this time.

Ash was soo excited to sit on the old guys lap,

with no hesitation...

Kaipo said he tried to pull off his beard

and then knew it wasn't the real Santa.

oh that kid! what are we gonna do with him???

And Ame, the little angel, ACTING somewhat shy

and embarrased, but we all know she is not!

And the fun continues...
Hope everyone is enjoying this Holiday Season.
Ours is going to get even better in just 2 days-
when Grandma and Grandpa Asplund get home.
We can hardly wait, and are just soo excited!!!
