Over a week ago, (I know I'm a little behind) we had the annual Zampedri Christmas Party. It's always held on Sunday morning and we have brunch. I love breakfast food! This year it started at 11 am and was over by 11:05. Just kidding. The Zampedris don't mess around though. They usually show up way early and finish by the time we make it there. I don't know why we are always late. It might have to do with getting 3 kids out the door. Good thing they are boys who don't need a lot of getting ready. Anyway for the record, we were on time.
We always do an adult gift exchange by playing the white elephant game, but with good gifts. I made out with a cute cosmetic travel purse and Mike got a travel neck pillow. Ooh, maybe that means a vacation is in our future! Then, the kids exchanged gifts. This year Santa made a surprise visit to hand out the gifts.
Tanner of course absolutely loved Santa!
Landen was being all scared/shy towards Santa until I told him he had a present for him.
I can't remember how old I was when I stopped believing in Santa, but I know it wasn't 6! The second Santa entered the room Gage stated, "That's a fake beard." Gage was clear across the room! How could he tell? I said it wasn't and he kept insisting that it was. He played along though. I have to be so careful with him. I know he still believes in Santa, but I never let Gage see Santa at the mall or other places like that. Gage asked last year how come Santa was everywhere we went.
Gotta love Grandma Liz! What a good sport! She definitely holds the family together.

ahh we are sad we missed it. Gage is waaayyy too smart for his own good. He is going to be an engineer or something. He can always figure stuff out. Too many questions that kid.
Ah that's just what Mia did with Santa. He's coming to Daycare tomorrow, hopefully she's a little less frightened. :) Looks like you had a fun party!
Looks like a fun party! I think it's so funny kids are always afraid of Santa. It might have something to do with the fact that they do ALWAYS seem to have freaky fake beards. :)
