On December 12, was our ward's Christmas party. To start the party off, the ward broke up into groups and went caroling to the elderly and other members in the ward.
After a short wait, we were able to go in a room and meet Santa. Below are pictures of us waiting in line to see Santa. The kids did really well waiting in line to see Santa.
Hyrum was so excited to jump on Santa's lap and tell him what he wanted for Christmas. The only thing he told Santa what he wanted was a dinosaur. 
The kids each got a bag of goodys from Santa. The kids loved them! Their favorite part of their goody bag were the oranges inside. They love oranges; espescially the little clementines! At the church, Ben and Emmy were throwing them around calling them balls. People got a kick out of that.
After we visited Santa, we went back in to the cultral hall and sang some Christmas carols together. The kids loved exploring their bags during the songs. 
It was a great night. It was fun to see the kids and their reactions when they were talking to Santa. Loved it!
There was definitely a unique special spirit when we went out carolling. I was grateful for the opportunity I had to carol with Brandon.
After carolling, we went back to the Church and had hot chocolate and cookies and other yummy treats.

Hyrum was so excited to jump on Santa's lap and tell him what he wanted for Christmas. The only thing he told Santa what he wanted was a dinosaur. Ben you could tell was very nervous, but he went and sat on Santa's lap. He didn't sit there very long and just looked at the ground while Santa was talkin to him.
Emmy was terrified. She SCREAMED! We weren't surprised. There was no way we could get her to sit on Santa's lap. That is why Brandon is holding her in the picture.
