"Alas! How dreary would be the world if there was no Santa Claus!... There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence." --FRANCIS P. CHURCH--

Yesterday was our Ward's Christmas Social. There was dinner, a song from the primary kids, and of course, Santa Claus! :) Evelyn was actually excited this year about Santa and kept asking where he was throughout dinner. She was even excited when he came out on the stage, which was definite progress from last year and progress from the Christmas Tree farm this year! :) So she and Mark got in line and he went up there with her. She was a bit hesitant but did sit on his lap, as long as Mark was next to her. We talked to her on the way there that if she sat on Santa's lap she could tell him what she wanted for Christmas and maybe he'd give her some candy. :) So the first thing she asked for was candy, then presents, and then Mark reminded her of the bike. :) So her wish is in, we'll have to see if Santa delivers :)

this girl is so funny to watch....she picked off the sprinkles one by one and then devoured the cupcake, she does this with a lot of things! 

ooo, is Santa coming???

nope, false alarm! and yes, Evelyn is biting her nails...how ridiculous is that???

while we waited for Santa she decided to run back and forth to the stage...she  is such a funny runner! and she'd say she was gonna go fast but her fast isn't very fast ;)  good thing for me!


and Santa finally made it!

she was so excited!

but then the wait made her a little nervous....

walking up to Santa....she waited for Mark to help her


haha! see? wouldn't let Mark leave her


and success!!! candy bag!

that's what she really wanted :)
