Santa Claus is Coming to Town

While in Idaho, it's a tradition to have the family Christmas party out at aunt Jennifer's house, Where Santa Claus always makes a special visit to see all of the 40 something cousins on the Stosich side. The girls were so excited & had such a good time. They sat so still waiting their turn for Santa to pull out a present with their name on it. After delivering all of their presents he led us all in singing "Jingle Bells." It was another fun night! Oh & Thanks Jenni for the darling Madi Moo Christmas skirts you made the girls.
Isabella asked for the Tinkerbell movie and a Peter Pan Movie
Sofia asked for a Barbie
Ava just sat there very still & would not give any kind of eye contact to Santa
Isabella is such a pretty lil girl waiting to open her present from Santa until all the kids had a turn.
Sofia also sitting patiently, however right after that I saw her tear into her gift! That's so her!
Ava's expression here is priceless as to her excitement on the Christmas Bear Santa gave her! I love it!

How fun!!! Looks like you guys are having an absolute blast in Idaho ... such cute pics of your adorable girls! Please keep in mind though, that every day Isabella is absent from preschool, I hear about it from Avery ... like it's my fault. Our mother-daughter relationship is dependant on Isabella's attendance. Just FYI ... no biggie ... seriously though, COME BACK!!! =)
