Ward Christmas Party

Last night was our Ward Christmas party. It was the Mexican theme of Feliz Navidad. It was pretty fun. The kids loved it and ate tons of chips, salsa and salad. All their friends were there so they played around while waiting for the adults to eat.

Then Santa showed up. They didn't do a "sit on Santa's lap" thing, they just had Santa go around from table to table giving out candy. When he first showed up, Courtney wasn't too sure about it and jumped on Bryan's lap with a worried look on her face. But when he came around to our table, she was okay with it. Ethan was super excited, just because he wanted the candy Santa was giving out. Ethan's friend was sitting with us and they began debating whether it was the "real Santa" or not and they finally decided that it had to be the real one because he had enough candy for everyone! It was cute.

When Santa was finished a few games were played and then the men were all called up front to sing Christmas songs to the women. It was a good party. We stayed and helped to clean up while the kids ran around.
