On Sunday the 13th we were invited to a wonderful Santa brunch at the
Boyer's. The kids had fun playing and eating delicious food and the adults got a chance to chat, which is always nice. Bryson and Aiden
The children were so excited to see Santa arrive!
Jaden told Santa what he wanted for Christmas (Toy Story Mania for the Wii).
Bryson wants "the same video game player as Jaden" (i.e. a Leapster)
Amy, Jackson and Brody with Santa

All of the kids with Santa.

fish face!
A few days later I took the boys downtown in the morning to see Santa (took Jaden out of school). It was the smallest line I had seen at Nordstrom's since we started doing Santa pics there. Much better than
last years wait! Jaden passed the 20 minutes of wait time by playing video games on my phone.
Mighty is really into the fish face for the camera!
This is the first year that Todd didn't join us, as he couldn't skip work. We will plan ahead for next year because the weekday mornings are the time to go for sure!
Old St. Nick!
The boys requested the same toys from this Santa too:)
Afterward we walked over to the Sheraton to see the Gingerbread houses (a tradition that began last year for us). This year the theme was Christmas movies. Here Jaden is standing in front of
It's a Wonderful Life.

A Charlie Brown Christmas
The Grinch that Stole Christmas
My favorite by far
The Christmas Story was incredible with all the amazing details!
The back side
Jaden and Bryson loved
The Polar Express the best. The entire inside of the mountain was decorated as well.
The back of the
Muppets Christmas Carol.
Fozzie Bear and Kermit the frog in jelly beans.
The front of the Muppets.
We walked over to do the carousel but the line was extremely long so we went to Macy's to work the window trains. This is one of my favorite holiday memories growing up, I loved to operate these trains where they used to reside at Frederick & Nelson's where we got our Santa pictures every year.
The boys had a blast operating them as well.
