Guess what we get to do again in a few months?

Let it Snow!

Benson and Molly love to shovel snow, and lucky for us, Grandpa Wayne loves to let them help him (or at least he tolerates it.)

Santa Claus is coming to town

Every year, for our Italian club, we have a little Christmas get-together. This year, Casey was working on our house, so the kids and I went solo. It turned out that Casey's mom and sister were there solo too. We all had a great time together.

Here we are on the hay ride. It was windy and COLD!

After the hayride, Santa came!

The kids were a very curious and excited to meet Santa.

Until it actually came time to sit on his lap...

Molly did NOT want to sit on his lap. I can't blame her, though, because I'd probably cry like that if I had to sit on his lap too.

Santa and Molly.

Looking at these pictures now, she says, "Santa! Ho Ho Ho! Molly cry!" 

Benson did VERY well meeting Santa. He climbed right up on his lap and said, "I want a dart gun." Then got right off. He didn't even pose for a photo.

We always have such a good time at the Italian parties. We are very proud to be Italian!

Let's hope Santa doesn't disappoint this year.
