Aunt Joni, Harrison, David, Madelyn, Tiffany, Toby, Brody, Beckett, Jason, Conner and I all went to the Christmas Party at the lake. The HLNAC and the fire department did an amazing job. Santa came in on the fire truck with sirens blasting. It was super cold, so we were sure to get everyone all bundled up. Conner was super happy about that!
Santa even brought along an elf. The fireworks were amazing and it was neat to see all of the kids trying to decide whether to follow Santa or watch the fireworks. The North Putnam choir also sang Christmas carols. It was really the neatest Christmas celebration I think I have been to. All three of the grandkids on the McClellan side posed for pictures. I promise we took about 30 pictures and this was the best one!Here is a picture of all five kids. Everyone was always moving so all of the pictures were blurry! Hopefully, Tiff got a few good ones! Conner did a great job visiting with Santa. I was surprised because I thought he would be scared but he just sat there. I think he knows he may have been a little naughty this year so he had to make sure that Santa thought he was a good boy! Isn't he a cute reindeer? Time for bed! Aunt Joni and Jason reading the goodnight story. This is Conner's new bear that reads to him. He loves it. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
This morning we got up and started decorating the house. As you can tell, we also tried to get our Christmas picture done. Too bad Conner did not want to participate! The tree looks great (even though the ornaments are hung about four foot from the bottom of the tree!)
