Today has been a fun packed FULL day!!!
My sister was coming to visit from Idaho Falls.
They are heading to Nampa for her husbands side of the family, a baby blessing.
Well, I am happy that she stopped by on her way through!
It was so great to see her and her family.
The kids all played really well.
(Until Porter got tired and started pinching and biting!)
We made pizzas for lunch...each kid got to make their own.
It was really fun, and surprisingly not as chaotic as one might think...I am taking 8 kids here...(9 if you count Sean Sr...ha ha ha...just teasing!)
Thanks Sara for stopping by we really enjoyed your visit!
Cute cousins:
Madi, Russell, SJ, Brad, Samantha, Elsie and Cassi (Porter was taking a much needed nap!)
*****************************
Then we got to go to the ward party tonight...and guess who showed up???
SANTA!!!
Before the party Elsie was so excited about Santa...then he came, she was not so excited anymore.
After ALL the kids in the ward went through...which was a VERY long time...
I convinced the little ones to go near Santa if they were clinging to me...
So we did it, and got a picture.
Oh the memories.
(Brent was working tonight...so he didn't get to see Santa)
Can you see the concern on Elsie's face???
She actually had a blast tonight cause she spent most of the night with Sister Roll, her primary teacher...who she just LOVES!!!!!
I am so Thankful for Sister Roll and the love that she has for Elsie.
And actually, Santa is Sister Roll's hubby.
He made a great Santa!

On a Santa note....we lost a believer this year.
Madi has been suspicious for the last couple years, but finally asked.
She is excited to be on the other side of it now...but it is still sad to see them loose that magic.

What a great picture with Santa! I love the very wary looks on Elsie's and Port's faces! :o)
So much fun! I want to get a picture with the girls and Santa Claus this year...UI was doing free pics...but it was in the middle of the school day! Arg! Ah, well.
Aarynn's been an "unbeliever" for a couple of years...I think about the time she was Madi's age...curse of the oldest, I think. They see more than the younger ones and are "forced" to grow up faster. But they sure are a huge blessing, these oldest girls, aren't they?!?
You all look so cute in red and white! Sounds like a fun day!
