So every year Mike's work puts on a xmas/Santa lunch for the employees and their families. It is very nice, usually very good food, you get to see families you haven't seen for a while, and best of all.. Santa comes and gives each of the kids a present! (provided from Mom and Dad beforehand, of course..) The kids usually are super excited! This year was no exception. All of my kids, naturally, are terrified of Santa (he is a pretty all-powerful big scary guy, after all..), so no pics of sitting on Santa's lap this year or in the near foreseeable future.. I am just lucky they are brave enough to go up within arm's length so I can snap a photo of them snatching their present away before running for dear life! I usually get the kids all something the same to open.. but for some reason I changed course this year.. should have known better! Maria, although very happy and excited about her present, was heartbroken she didn't get what Lillian got.. a FurReal piglet. She had been extremely moody all weekend to begin with so the disappointment was just too much to hide. She is so spoiled, I went out and got her one to open from Santa on xmas day. Who knew she would be into those things too?!
The pics posted are as follows.. First the excitement of waiting patiently for Santa to call their name.. I think Mikey is practicing his Popeye expression, almost has it! The terrifying snatch and run of their presents, and the results of their bravery. Despite the emotional, disappointed breakdown from Maria, it was all in all a pretty good day.
