We celebrated Christmas so many times this season that I decided to do it all in one post. On December 10th we went to get our family pictures taken. Both the boys desperately needed a haircut so I took them. Riley Jo decided she needed a haircut too even though she had hers cut about 3 weeks before. I didn't think it was worth a fight so I let her get her haircut too. So now her hair is to her chin too! I will post a picture soon. On December 13 it was our ward Christmas party. We had a great dinner, and experienced our first deep fried turkey. It tasted awesome! They squirted teriyaki sauce into the turkey so it tasted really sweet. Riley Jo actually sat on Santa's lap this year without crying which was a huge accomplishment. I forgot my camera so I am waiting for one to be sent to me so I will post it when I get it. Then on December 18th Riley Jo's preschool had their holiday celebration. We walked into the classroom and all the kids had on a Rudolph headband with a red nose. They sang some Christmas songs and Santa came to visit. Santa brought everyone 2 books and then they could take a picture with him. I forgot my camera again so I am waiting for the pictures too. Then you can understand about the Rudolph noses. The kids looked so cute and they sang the songs really good. Riley Jo sat on Santa's lap again!!
Then on the 20th we woke out kids up and told them it was Christmas morning and we let them open their Christmas gifts. We have to do a lot of jumping around on Christmas day and the kids don't get to stay at home, so we spent the morning at home and after lunch went to the mall to try to see Santa. Unfortunately, the rest of Concord and probably the surrounding cities were all there too. So we couldn't see Santa with all our kids. So the two youngest got their pictures taken with Santa. This is the best picture we've had with Santa in 4 years. Riley has been kicking and screaming in everyone until this year.
