Dear Santa.. we've been good.

This is what we have been up to... getting ready for Christmas... enjoy the mass of pictures..

The kids writing letters to Santa and taking them to the mall to drop them off in the Macy's mailbox..

Camden really concentrating on his letter

Case a little irritated...?

getting ready to send the letters off

... and they're gone






We spent the weekend in Las Vegas visiting with family and friends. My dad dresses up like Santa for my brothers ward party. The kids were so excited to see him. Camden saw him come in and got a bit confused when he looked familiar... like grandpa... I told him it was our little secret and not to tell the other kids. Grandpa helps Santa.. cause he is one busy man... Case had no clue at all that it was Grandpa... Santa it was :)

Camden and his cousins in awe of the magical grandpa..



Since we were visiting early... the kids even got to open presents early.. They were super happy..and now want to open all the gifts we have under the tree....

Case opening his scooter

Camden and his scooter... an item on his list :) Santa must of spoken to Grandpa and Grandma

The kids on thier new scooters... Camden in his nightshirt..
