SANTA at the ward party
Tonight was the Black Hills Ward Party. They had a dinner and then the primary kids sang some songs. That is Mason holding one of the signs and then the YM & YW acted out the Nativity and then the special guest came..... SANTA!
Mason with Santa...
Chase with Santa...
Trey and Shaley with Santa...
Our new family.....
Darren even wanted a turn... Santa has no finger in that glove.... A reindeer bit it off.
This year we had Brother Mike Gibson come up and be Santa. He and his wife Leah have lived here as along as us and this year they move to phoenix. We miss them alot. I had to bring the twins out to see him because he names all my kids. Mason is Duncan Thatcher. Chase is Franklin Safford. Now Trey is Jerome Clarkdale. Shaley is Sedona Payson. We just love the nick names he calls our kids. Brother Gibson is missing a finger and so we wondered how he was going to pull that off without the kids remembering who he was. I think he did well. The boys had a good time. When we were leaving the church Mason and Chase were bummed because they were wanting to watch Santa fly away. Mason was hoping to see and pet the reindeer. Maybe next year.

Today we made graham cracker houses.... MUCH easier for the kids and cheaper than buying ginger bread ones. Chase frosting away....
Mason working away....
Time to decorate....
All Finished.......
I kept trying to take his photo and the eyes would close so this is the only one with open eyes.
The boys had alot of fun making them and it kept them busy for awhile. Which is nice since when they are together they are so loud. But they are having fun so I shouldn't complain that they are loud. Every time I would go and check on the boys to see how they were doing they would be eating the candy or picking the frosting. Now that the houses are done and sitting on the counter they are eating the hard candys. The houses might have to get thrown away.

When I went to my doctor apt it wasn't until 4pm and when I got out I needed to get a gift before we headed home. I told Darren since it was starting to get dark that we should drive by the temple lights real quick for the boys to see and I haven't been by for a long time. So here is a quick photo.....
The boys in front of the manager scene...
The boys loved looking around and it was a good way to get their energy out from sitting in the car at the dr apt, so they would be ready for the 2 hour drive home.

DEC. 7-2011 I had my 6 week check up in Mesa and my grandparents happen to be going to the doctor that same day so we planned to meet them for lunch. They hadn't seen the twins yet so that was exiting. Michelle had been to the hospital when I had them so it was fun for her to see how they have changed. Aunt Michelle holding Trey.....
Great Grandma holding Shaley....
Great Grandma holding Trey...
Great Grandpa and the older boys....
After lunch they got ice cream....
My grandpa doesn't really like to hold babies so that is why I don't have any with him. Mason and Chase loved having their great grandpa to hang out with.

Santa came to Clarkdale
Santa came to Clarkdale today and we braved the cold snowy/rainy weather to see him. Santa was 30 minutes late because he got stuck in the snow.... Mason went first and as he waited in line he couldn't think of what to ask Santa for so when he got there he told Santa, "Just Surpise me." That's my kind of kid! So come Christmas morning Mason will see what he got!
Chase went next and asked Santa for a "Hexbug Hive"....
Then we wanted to do the twins and well it was alot harder than we thought to get a good photo of them.... But at least we have the memory of them meeting with santa....
