Party!

We have a week of Christmas parties this week.. Last night we had Dallas's company party. We went to Little America and had a really nice dinner. Tonight, we had our ward Christmas party. a yummy dinner, and, of course, santa! It was the cutest thing. Avery LOVES santa. I can't even explain how much she loves him. She was talking about Santa and waiting to see him all day. As soon as we got to the church, she started begging. After dinner, the primary kids did a little program and at the end they were singing some christmas songs and on the other side of the room, they opened the curtain- and there he was. As soon as Avery saw him she dove out of my arms and ran as fast as she could to santa and jumped into his arms. He picked her up and she gave him a big hug. She was so happy! Then he asked her what she wants and she said.. "a monkey!!" She just started saying it yesterday and I have no idea where it came from but every time anyone asks her what she wants, she says a monkey. Then sometimes she says "a scary one." A scary monkey... Funny funny girl! This time, Mackenzie and Gavin both asked for roller skates. The primary singing some christmas songs Happy Girl!

While Kenzie and Gavin were waiting in line to see santa, Avery sat at the table and dug in to her candy bag. She took a bite out of every piece.
Kenzie wouldn't sit on his lap.. She's not even 8 and she's alredy starting to outgrow santa.. sad!

Gavin sat on his lap but he wouldn't look at me- He hates having his picture taken.

Tomorrow they are having a christmas party at the Library for story hour and Santa will be there so Avery will get to see him again! Then, this weekend, we have my family's Christmas party so that's going to be 3 nights this week that I don't have to cook! Wahoo!!
