Breakfast with Santa

Saturday morning my ward had a breakfast and then Santa came and visited the kids.  Tyler is at a really fun age where he loves to see Santa and tell him what he wants for Christmas.  He did tell him he wanted some binoculars and a telescope (neither of which I got him).  Josh is at the age where he really hates Santa and cries when placed on his lap.  It was a good breakfast and fun to see the kids with Santa.

Later that day we had our annual friend Christmas party.  This year Mindy hosted it at her house it she did a really good job.  Lots of people came and I think everyone had a good time.  Sometimes this is the one time a year that we get to see some of our friends from high school.  We eat yummy food and then do a white elephant gift exchange.  Tony and I got some pretty ghetto stuff that we plan on re-gifting at other parties that we have.  That's the fun part of white elephants.  The kids had tons of fun and Tyler was super sad to leave.  I say it was a very successful party.
On a totally unrelated note: Josh does not like it when you go into a room and shut the door.  He doesn't like to feel excluded.  When Tyler goes to the bathroom he shuts the door so that Josh won't get into the toilet while he is going potty.  So what almost always ends up happening is Josh is screaming at the door and Tyler screaming back "the toilets open."  It is extremely funny to listen too...and very loud.  Funny kids.
