Our Santa Party

Tonight we had a few friends over for our annual Santa party. We did this last year for the first time and enjoyed it so much that we decided it will just have to be one of our Noble traditions each year. :) I would love to invite everyone we know but with the basement, it just gets so packed (and so hot!) so we unfortunately really have to limit it. :( The kids' faces are priceless when Santa shows up and we're always entertained by Santa's "ho ho's" since it's always a first time Santa. :) This year we had a teacher friend of Chris' and he did a great job! Almost all of the kids wanted to sit on Santa's lap and they all definitely enjoyed their presents! Thanks to all of our friends that could make it and thanks for the yummy treats!!

Braden and Tyler cheesing it up-how handsome are these boys?! :)

He's here!!!!

This is what Ethan did when Santa arrived...he went the other way! Ha!

All of the kids sat so nicely while they took turns sitting on Santa's lap

Braden took his turn...always so serious with Santa. I tried to put Ethan on but he screamed. :)

Santa hands out gifts

Braden got Bullseye from Toy Story. He's been asking for Bullseye and Jessie since November. He didn't act overly excited at first but he was!! He must have been in shock. :) He kept saying, "Santa really brought me it. He got me what I wanted. Now I just need Jessie. :"

Ethan opening his first gift of Christmas...I think he might get the hang of this after all of our celebrations. :)

Ethan got a fish that sings and swims in the tub.

Braden, Tyler, Carson & Jackson show off their presents. Such big boys these days.

Braden & Jackson were reenacting all of Toy Story together. Ha!

The boys...(The men) hanging out in the kitchen

The girls chatting it up :)

Ethan is such a ham. He was showing off half the night with this bucket on his head. He is so stinkin' cute I tell ya! :)
