Santa arrives on a......EC-130?????

Well, maybe you didn't know this but instead of reindeer, Santa uses an airplane. At least he did for us this weekend! For the kids' Christmas party for Aaron's squadron, they brought Santa in on the plane that he flies. It was pretty cool, he came down the runway waving out the top of the plane and when they stopped right out in front of us, they brought Santa into the party. They had all kinds of games and crafts and of course snacks and Brady had a great time!

They took turns and all the kids got to sit on Santa's lap and get a present (we brought it into work the week before to get it into Santa's bag!).

Brady acutally did really well sitting on Santa's lap. I was afraid he was going to freak out like he did with the Easter Bunny this last year! If you can see in his hands, he's still holding the ear plugs they gave us to wear outside because it was so noisy! The kids had a great time and I think it was even more fun than the adult party they had at Aaron's work on Friday night!
