James meet Santa!

The week before Christmas we had an awesome neighborhood party with a visit from Santa! 


 There are a ton of kids all about the same age - so fun to see them all play together. 


These oreo snowman cookies were a big hit --- James probably ate 4 throughout the evening - they may or may not have been used as a bribe when Santa arrived. 
 

Happy to see Santa in the safety of Daddy's arms (and of course with a cookie!) 
 

Checking things out from a safe distance while the other kids got their turn. 


When it was James' turn - Daddy had to go up too. 
He wasn't so sure, but thought it was hilarious when Santa asked him about Percy and Thomas and even his brother Isaac. 
 

I think this photo captures the "have you been a good boy and nice to your brother?" question/ answer portion!  
 

Most of the kids for a group photo of sorts! 
Isaac is the baby on the right. 
 

Santa brought presents too - notice the cookie bribe to go and get close! 
 

Ripping into the present --- Lightning and Chic racers! 
 

And just a couple photos of  the controlled chaos! 
 

We had a blast! 
 

Isaac was the life of the party - not sleeping a wink while we were there and being passed around. 
 

Working on standing! 
 

Our plan had been to leave when one of the kids melted down --- all of the kids were so good - we were only the second family to leave and we didn't leave til after 11pm! 
It was a terrific night and one we hope is repeated annually!
