Santa

Our ward had breakfast with Santa. It was a rip roaring good time. The Elder's quorum was in charge and, because Brian is in the presidency, we were one of the chosen families. Everything went off without a hitch... well, except that there was no sound for the movie, but more than one person commented that it had a masculine vibe to it so we contributed it to them. Details. Who worries about the details anyway? It was successful nevertheless, and the kids were beside themselves with excitement to meet Santa Clause. The young women pretty much take care of our kids at all ward gatherings now. My calling is perfect!!

I managed to capture a shot with both of them on Santa's lap.  Xiana told him she wanted two Dora sets and, true to her word, she stuck with it.

The kids were captivated by the stories, movie, and time with one another. Brian made an excellent pancake chef, and there was food left to feed an army. It was a great, albeit tiring, morning.
