The Most Wonderful Day of the Year

Christmas morning pics....

(This was actually taken yesterday afternoon. Thomas loved being pulled around the house on his new sled.)

A Visit to Santa

Today Daddy, Mommy, Thomas, Miss Jennifer, Mark, Miss Kara and Ryley all visited Santa Claus at the history museum. Santa sang songs, told stories, and talked to the children as a group. There was no preasure to sit on Santa's lap, ergo, no risk of the visit becoming too scary. Thomas, unfortunately, was in the early stages of roseola, unbeknownst to the parental type figures. It was obvious he was feeling poorly, but it was passed off as "just teething." Here are some pics that came out fairly well despite Thomas' health.

Daddy and Thomas check out Santa from a distance first.

Santa looks for Thomas' name on his "good" list. It was there, of course.

Thomas listens to Santa tell a story about some moose friends.

Thomas, Ryley and Mark check out Santa's sleigh.

Thomas shows Mommy some of the features of Santa's sleigh.

Thomas investigates a display of hurried elves and genteel snowmen. (Thomas promptly knocked over said display shortly after this picture was taken.)
