Ward Christmas Party - Father Christmas Pics

Our ward Christmas party was a big hit this year (as always). The food was fabulous and the kids had a blast. I sang "O Holy Night" during the nativity. Bob was one of the 3 kings (the whole bishopbric were the kings actually). Then Father Christmas paid a visit to the kids. He told them stories and then they sat on his lap for these cute pictures.

The boys wrote letters to Santa. They are interesting (to say the least).

Dear Santa,
I have been a good boy this year. I helped mom clean up. I played with my little brother Cason, and I was nice.

I would like a phone. I just want the phone that calls people. (yep that's right folks, my 4 year old wants a cell phone...it's NOT going to happen)! I would like some playdough and playdough scissors. And I want a food thing that smashes playdough. May I have a book please. A backyardigans book – searching around for clues – super spy book. Secret Agent book. A puzzle. Some candy.
Love, Cameron

Dear Santa,
I have been a little nice this year.
I want a phone. (yes, my kids are really hooked on phones for some reason). Crayons. A coloring book. A camera card. A Jack in the Box. A new game. And a I want a movie. Harry Potter 3 movie. And Harry Potter 5. I just want a jump rope. And I want a watering can. A Christmas puzzle. I guess I want candy too.

Love, Channing

All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth!

Channing was so excited because he lost another tooth! (Really he just wanted the tooth fairy to come because he likes dollars)! The sad thing was he wanted to wash his tooth and he washed it right down the drain. Poor kid. He was very distraught! So Bob told him that he would call the tooth fairy and tell her to come anyway. Channing said, "Really!? What's her phone number?" So here is our silly, toothless little man. Smile Big Chan! :)

Playing in the Rain!

Most people don't think too much of rain when it comes, but in Phoenix it's almost a luxury! We often goes weeks/months without a drop. So the boys decided to take full advantage of our recent deluge. Here they are....soaking wet!
