Santa & Looking @ Lights ~ Days 21 & 22

This is an exciting one -------

Day 21~ HO, HO, HO! Sit on Santa's lap and celebrate with the Palmer family

Per Palmer family tradition, on the Monday before Christmas, we headed over to Matt's aunt and uncle's house on his dad's side for dinner and our annual visit from the jolly big guy himself.

Preston did GREAT his 1st time seeing Santa! :) He just tried to figure out who this guy was and why we plopped him down on his lap.

Prest even gave him noggins! ;)Gav could hardly wait for his turn! He wants Legos and Bakugans for Christmas.Blake just wants BAKUGAN!Brooklyn's list entailed Littlest Pet Shops and Polly Pockets.
I love that she insists on whispering into Santa's ear!!

Today was Day 22. Drive around to look at all the Christmas lights. Come home and find a special treat! Matt was helping a family in the ward pack up to move so it was just the kids and I again. We definitely missed Daddy!
We also dropped off some goody plates to friends and primary teachers.A subdivision couple miles or so down the way has this Loop of Lights that most everyone on the street participates in. One house even has a bajillion lights that flash with music that you can tune your car stereo to!!! My kids call it the "dancing house." So we sat in front of it for awhile and watched. Then mommy cheated and took the kids through the new Dunkin Donuts drive thru for our treat. ;)
