Here comes Santa Claus

We had our ward Christmas party last friday night, and we were lucky enough to have a special visit by Santa Claus. The kids were very excited to see Santa and sit on his lap. I think it's been two years since the kids sat with Santa, and the last time my dad was the mystery Santa. So this is the first non relative Santa the kids have seen. Kera was one of the first kids in line to see santa since she was sitting up front with her friends Kendall and Molly. Then I waited in line with Jacob and Michael. Kera sat on santa's lap twice, since dad didn't have the video camera ready the first time. The kids rattled off their lists for santa, and then when I put Michael on Santa's lap he was okay until he looked up and say that big white beard. Then nothing could console him after that, not even chocolate.
While we waited for santa to arrive, we had a few musical numbers, including some teenage boys from our ward who did a rockband version of Rudolph and Here Comes Santa Claus. Kera was sitting by her friends Molly and Samantha in the bottom picture. The date is obviously wrong on my camera, it's not actually 2004.
