Santa

We were lucky enough to have three separate encounters with Santa Claus this year.  With each meeting Nina warmed up more and more to the idea of sitting on a strange, creepy man's lap.  I'm not really sure if this is a good thing or not.  Nina wanted just one thing this year: Rapunzel.  She also let me know that Susie wants a yellow duck.

Tyson's work Christmas party (picture of a picture, sorry.)

Hmmm...this Santa Claus looks awfully familiar.  This is at Mountain View High School where Grandpa Mack just happens to work.

Grandma Connie's annual Christmas party.  This year it was at Brent and Marsha's house in Roosevelt, Utah.  This year we learned that Connie's mom, Great-grandma Lyon, started this tradition years ago.  Everyone always gets Oreo's, Lucky Charms, cheese and meat.  Grandma Lyon started the cereal tradition.

Susie didn't know what to think of Old Saint Nick.

Did I mention that EVERYONE sits on Santa's lap regardless of age or affiliation to the family.  If you attend the party, you sit on the lap.  No questions asked.  Poor Santa.
