Christmas Eve

In the years that we are in Oregon on Christmas Eve we are lucky to get an invite to the Smith's home. Aside from an amazing pot luck dinner (this year was an Italian theme and Jeff made his famous homemade pizza), the night is spent anxiously awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus. Yes, really, Santa Claus! He brings all the children pajamas and we have a fun filled evening eating and playing!


Bryce and his buddy Dan. He loves Dan!

Jeff got his turn on Santa's lap. He was trying to convince Bryce to do it. No luck.

Bryce took his gift and ran the other direction. I really wish that I could've captured the look on his face when Santa came in the house though. It was pure astonishment.

Finally at the age of 7 Cayden will sit on Santa's lap.

P.S. You will notice that Cayden and Bryce are wearing OSU shirts. They were a gift from our wonderful friend Corey who started college there in the fall. Cayden loves his shirt because he is a Beaver fan. However, Bryce, for some reason is a Duck fan (U of O) and was convinced that his shirt was a "ducky shirt". He went around all night saying, "go ducks go! Win, win, win". And, in a house with a bunch of OSU fans that did not go so well.
