Happy Birthday

Today was our Hadley's 8th Birthday.

She had a fun filled day with gifts, dinner with cousins, then cake and ice cream to top it off.

She's very excited about being 8 and looking forward to her baptism.

We love you Had and enjoyed spending this Happy Day with you!

Ward Christmas Dinner

Tonight was our Ward Christmas Dinner. After dinner and the short and sweet program it was time for the "special visitor". I was anxious to see what Braeden would do. The second he saw Santa walk in the door his face totally lit up. He was so excited, the line couldn't move fast enough for him. When it was our turn, there was no hesitation, he knew exactly what to do and headed straight for Santa's lap.

1st visit

2o minutes after the first visit with Santa, Braeden insisted on seeing him again. I guess he didn't get enough time with him the first round. He just loved him. (What a nice and patient Santa).
