Santa Claus is coming to town!

We had our monthly Thurston Family dinner at Tanya's house this month. She had it set up for a special visitor to comeby while we were all there. It was so much fun. The kids loved it, and it sure beat standing in line at the mall to get pictures with santa. Brig was a little scared of Santa at first but he sat on Mrs. Claus lap and told Santa what he wanted for Christmas. Thanks Tanya we had a great time.

The kids were all on their best behavior raising their hands to answer questions and waiting to be called on it was pretty amazing.

The kids were so excited when the door knocked they all had a good idea who was coming.

Brig's preschool class had a little Christmas program. It was pretty funny. His cousins Jalyn and Gavin are both in the class with him. Gavin wouldn't stand up with the kids and sing though. Jalyn did great she sang all the words and did the actions to the songs. Brig was really shy about it but he did try. you could see his mouth moving barely but could hear no words.

Dallin's Birthday

Dallin had a great birthday. I cannot believe he is five already. He wanted a Star Wars party and since Aunt Sandee was not available to do the cake I had to do it on my own. It was pretty scary but Dallin seemed satisfied. He told everyone he wanted lightsabers for his b-day so he ended up with plenty of them.

Christmas party

This weekend we went to SRP's annual Christmas party. It was a lot of fun. They bring in snow, have lots of carnival rides and best of all fly Santa in on a helicopter. The boys had a lot of fun for the most part. It was pretty warm outside though and we were all very tired by the time we were done. Alden was disappointed he wasn't tall enough for a few of the rides he is a thrill seeker. The other boys were very content with the smaller children rides though they aren't as brave as Alden.
