Santa is Coming to Town!

This weekend we had a lot of Christmas events!  It started with Thursday night Santa Train in Raymond...we were a little late getting there or I should say the "train" was a little early!  Derrick got to dance with a ton of different characters and Caysen just watched.  We were going to sit on Santa's lap...but the line was in a circle around the whole community center...so Derrick just snuck a peek at Santa and we went and visited Grandma Cindy who wasn't feeling the best!  Saturday morning we headed to Breakfast with Santa at the KCC in town here to see Santa and do some fun activities with the 4H kids.  Derrick and Caysen decorated Cookies and made their own stockings.  Derrick also "made" his own fleece tie pillow....but really he just had the girl tie it for him and he stuffed it!  He also made a Snowman picture frame.  Caysen "colored" a nice picture for Santa Clause and quick ran to give it to him and ran away.  He still isn't too sure of that guy...but once he warms up to him he does allright!  I then ended up getting the stomach flu quite horrible and ended up missing my work Christmas Party!  I was a little disapointed because I was looking forward to the yummy food!  Derrick spent the night at Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Marvin's and helped make cookies on Sunday while I attempted to get healthy!  We are all now healthy here and hope to keep it that way for quite a while!  Here are some pictures from our Christmas adventures!

Derrick with Rudolph!

"Good" picture in the sleigh!

Derrick walking down the bubblewrap walk way to see Santa!

Derrick decorating his cookie...suprised he didnt put the whole cup of frosting on there!

Bringing Santa his picture he colored for him!

And then he quick ran away!  Thought maybe we'd get him close!

Caysen just LOVED walking down the bubble wrap and playing with all the balloons!


We finally got him to sit with Mrs. Clause!

C'mon Santa Look! ha

I guess he's a smart boy....why sit on Santa's lap when I can sit on his Wife's??????

D telling Santa he wants a Paint ball gun...really?  A Paint ball gun?  This is the first we really heard of this!

"Making" his pillow....It didn't last long and he had her tie it for him!

Making his picture frame!

Decorating his stocking....he ended up with almost the whole sheet of stickers on his stocking.  Caysen's is still at home waiting to be decorated!

Caysen taking a bite of his cookie!

Derrick finishing his pillow by putting the stuffing in!

Love, Kelli
