Here Comes Santa Clause

I know what many of you are thinking, "You don't do Santa Clause at your house."  And there are also many of you thinking we are mean and cruel.  That is all fine.  Frankly, I don't really care what you think.  I am doing what I think is best for my family and you can do what you think is best for your family.  My kids know that it is a man dressed up but they have also been told that if they want to pretend to believe they can or they don't have to as long as they don't ruin it for other kids.  Anywho, every year, Grandma Linda and Grandpa Jim throw a great Santa Party.  Santa comes and has a gift for every grand child (this year there were over 60 grandkids).  So, my kids LOVE it.  We have dinner with everyone, then Santa comes with gifts, we sing songs, and everyone has a great time.  My kids also enjoy knowing that they are in on the "big secret."

(Somehow in all the hustle and bustle we missed Julia on Santa's lap but here are the pictures of the other kids.)
