Ward Christmas Party and Santa!!


Ryan and Dane during dinner.

I thought for sure Santa's beard would be ripped off right away but Dane didn't even realize he was sitting on his lap. He was to concerned with trying to grab the Christmas tree lights next to him.

Our little family after dinner and Santa!

Jenn'a first Christmas she was 2 months and came back to me with white curly hair in between her fingers !! :) All the firsts are fun aren't they??? They just get better too

darn, i was hoping to hear about some drama at the ward christmas party. i guess you can't always count on dane to perform. that's a lot of pressure for the little guy. cute pictures though, you look so pretty.

So I think Dane was the one of the very few little ones not to completely break down at the sight of Santa - he's such a brave little guy!

that is bc he did not see santa. i was scared that he was gonna yank that beard right off if he did. he was too destracted by the christmas lights on the tree next to santa. how did tienna do with her dad, i mean santa??

I'm so glad that you left a comment on my blog. Your family is so cute. How old is your baby boy? He looks so much like Ryan but I see a lot of you in him too. So, how long have you guys lived in Arizona? You look beautiful as always. We'll have to keep in touch.

That would have been so funny. I wish he would have ripped it right off.

heather-

we have been in az since august of this year and ryan will graduate in 2011 then we don't know where we will be. we love it here though and wouldn't mind staying. for sure we will keep in touch.

siri-

i was hoping he would get his sticky little fingers on his beard too but that probably would have deeply scarred some children.

Taggart hasn't met santa yet this year but it seems like you guys have been occupying his time. hope he calls when he gets into town.

Josh, Abbie, Tienna and Kiara said...

She actually did really well - no screaming, no pulling on the beard, only staring wide-eyed trying to figure out why santa sounded like dad i'm sure.

Carlie and Ryan Skinner said...

that is so funny. Abbie thank you so much for the treats. Ryan thinks that i need to take some cooking classes from you now. everything was soo good and your picture was beautiful! thanks again.
