Jolly Santa

We braved a snowy night to attend our ward Christmas party. The first course of business was, of course, finding Old Saint Nick.

This Santa was awesome--perfect beard, happy eyes, and well--overall JOLLY.

We told J that he would get to meet Santa and he was excited. We practiced smiling for the camera before we went...and that's how we got a partial smile out of him when he was frozen in fear after being thrust upon a stranger's lap:

Trevor & Baby N standing in line (we went twice. once for J, and the 2nd time with both boys)...

I wore red & green tops--AND a headband with red sequins. Trevor told me I looked like an ornament. I took it as a compliment.

And here you have it--our boys with Santa Claus.

At least he got a candy cane out of the entire ordeal.
