Santa!!

Every year the Hiatts have a huge Christmas Party. I always wonder how Sharilyn will fit that many people in her house each year. And every year she pulls it off. We eat yummo food, enjoy each other and Santa comes and visits. The kids really look forward to this each year. My kids were so excited to sit on Santa's lap until it came right down to it. All three kids sat on my lap terrified. Kaitlyn was the bravest this year and went and sat on his lap all by herself with absolutely no crying this year. That is pretty big for her! Melanie cried until I came and stood by her and then she sat on his lap, but wouldn't say a word to him. Matt just flat out screamed and kicked as I tried to force him to sit on Santa's lap, sometimes I wonder why I torture my kids like this and then each year I do it all over again. We didin't get the greatest pictures this year, maybe I will be on camera duty next year.

The kids waiting for their turn!
