Santa's Lap

Last Saturday was the ward Christmas party. It's always the best attended activity of the year. There was a nice dinner, as always. A program, as always. Then Santa Clause, as always! And each child took a turn sitting on Santa's lap, as always:

                                                (Michael-wants a DS and Remote Control Helicopter)
      (Justin-wants a Lego City Set, star wars men and anything else Santa deems worthy of him)

                                                 (Alyssa-wants dishes for her kitchen and a barbie or doll)
only this year...
Santa met Amy for the first time. He thought she was great. She...

                                                         just wanted down. Treat. Or not treat.

yeah for Santa! For some reason I think it is funny that Santa's treats for the kids are stored in a diaper box! Ha!
On a side note I LOVE your family pictures! Beautiful and such a handsome group!

Gosh Shelly, you have such a beautiful family! Every time I come in here and read about the kids and look at their pictures I can't help but get teary-eyed. I don't know why. So precious that they are! Such a wonderful family! I'm so glad that I get in some small way be part of the entire Mower clan (including those who have a new last name) :) and have the privilege of seeing your kids grow and what wonderful people they are. I'm so proud of them. That Bryon and Tyler! Gosh, what a soft heart I got! I'm just so proud. I need to write to them so that they know that. Keep it up Shelly. You are doing wonderfully! Thank you for your example! It strengthens me when I am feeling less than perfect and like I don't measure up. Love you always. Have a happy New Year Alger family!!!! With much love, hugs and kisses, Yari
