Here comes Santa Claus...

After the Nativity, things loosened up a bit.



We sang some Christmas carols.

And then this guy showed up!

Tony's smiling because he's been a good boy all year. Nothing for him to worry about.

Santa happened to be in the neighborhood and stopped to say hello to some of his favorite people.

"Well... I'd really like a puppy"

Santa very gently explained that he never brings dogs on the sleigh because they bark at his reindeer.



Santa was so charming that even though the puppy request was nixed, Emily still liked him very much.

You just know a girl who wears light up antlers is going to get along really well with Santa.

Sarah's thinking, "Oh man... its been a while since I sat on Santa's lap. This seems a little awkward"

Hey. If Tony can do it, so can you.



She was good all year and didn't ask for a single thing. Typical and awfully sweet.

Santa was so patient to let us get our pictures taken with him on his busiest night!



Santa loves Grandma and Grandpa. They're some of his best helpers.

What a fun Christmas Eve!!
